2Player Default: Tell me what I'm supposed to be doing again.{Rolling eyes, speaking to himself / Irritated} God, grant me patience...A1a
3{Dumbing down explanation as if to an idiot / Irritated} It's simple. There are five terminals around town. Five, like the number of fingers you've got on one hand, ok?A1b
4{Sarcastic at the end / Irritated} Go activate them and the turrets should reboot. Turrets shoot bullets. Mirelurks are allergic to bullets. Make sense, Einstein?A1c
5Player Default: Nope, I've got it.{Get out of here, dummy! / Irritated} Then quit standing around slack-jawed and go do something!B1a
6Player Default: Nope, I've got it.{Rolling eyes, to himself / Sarcastic} Oh, this ought to be good...Player Default: Listen, I accidentally destroyed some of your turrets, but I still think we're ok here.B2a
7Player Default: How about a little help, Barney?{irritated, sarcastic / Irritated} Did I wake them all up and send them into a frenzy? No. You made your bed, now go lay in it.X1a

9Player Default: Barney, what happened here?{A little softer than usual. Thankful the player cares, but doesn't want to come off as a softie / Friendly} Yeah, thanks for listening. But don't think we're gonna start a knitting circle or anything, ok?Y2a
10DN083_BarneyCrabsAttack{Yelling to someone far away / Puzzled} Hey, what are you doing down there? Look out, they're coming right at you!A1a

12{Loud sarcasm. They player has made a huge mistake / Sarcastic} Oh, well, I'm glad you've still got hope, sunshine! Maybe we can group hug the rest of them to death!Barney: How many did you break?A1b
13Player Default: False alarm, don't worry about it.{Unsure of player / Puzzled} You're a real weird one, you know that?Player Default: Tell me what I'm supposed to be doing again.B1a
14Player Default: I took out some of the turrets...{Shocked, terrible news, the player has really messed up / Angry} You did what?!?Barney: How many did you break?X1a
15Player Default: How badly do we need those turrets?{Quiet unbelieving tone / Disbelief} No. No way you are this stupid.Barney: How many did you break?Y1a
16Player Default: Oh, well, I'm glad you've still got hope, sunshine! Maybe we can group hug the rest of them to death!{Angry, irritated / Irritated} How many did you break?Player Default: Look, I don't see what the problem is here. You've still got Reba.A1a
17Player Default: Look, I don't see what the problem is here. You've still got Reba.{Angry sarcasm / Sarcastic} Nice sentiment, but she can't be in every place at the same time! Those turrets were in strategic locations so Reba and I can stay home most days!Barney: The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.A1a
18Player Default: Whatever, I'll just kill them all myself.{Sarcasm / Sarcastic} That's a real great plan there until one of them eats you and it's down to just me again.Barney: The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.B1a
19Player Default: Just a few.{Sarcastic like crazy / Sarcastic} Just a few, he says. "No big deal," he says.Barney: The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.X1a
20Player Default: Just a few.{Sarcastic like crazy / Sarcastic} Just a few, she says. "No big deal," she says.Barney: The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.X2a
21Player Default: Just a few.{Furious irritation / Angry} All of them?!? Are you kidding me? Are you even trying to help me here? Are you some sort of mirelurk spy in disguise or something?!?X3a
22{Talking to himself, calming himself down / Irritated} Ok, Barney, calm down. Remember your blood pressure. Breathe.Barney: The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.X3b
23Player Default: Look, can we still do this if some of them are down?{Irritated / Sarcastic} Yeah, but I'm not sure I trust someone as dumb as you to do it anymore.Barney: The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.Y1a
24Player Default: Nice sentiment, but she can't be in every place at the same time! Those turrets were in strategic locations so Reba and I can stay home most days!{Grumpy, but a small silver lining has appeared / Irritated} The good news is the turrets may be down but the targeting system should still be up. So your mission technically remains the same.A1a
25{Irritated} Turn on all of the terminals and when I get time to fix your mistakes, those turrets should be ready to go.A1b
26{Irritated} So get back out there and try not to do something else stupid, ok? Like burn down the whole town.A1c
27DN083_BarneyNewEnd{Happy, jubilant, almost a first for Barney / Happy} You did it, didn't you? Ha, I could hear that sweet, sweet machine gun music all the way down here! You almost caught me and Reba mid-waltz.Player Default: No problem, Barney. Glad to be of service.A
28Player Default: No problem, Barney. Glad to be of service.{Friendly, sincere / Friendly} Well, Reba and I appreciate it. We won't soon forget you.Barney: Now, about that reward...A1a
29Player Default: Great, now I'm covered in crab guts.{Friendly sarcasm. Barney is now friendly with the player, but he still makes jabs / Friendly} Yeah, and you smell like a fishmarket. Phew!Barney: Now, about that reward...B1a
30Player Default: I'm glad that's over with.{Friendly and happy / Friendly} You and me and Reba makes three, my friend. Hopefully those turrets will keep them off my ass for a while.Barney: Now, about that reward...X1a
31Player Default: Is that it? Will they come back?{Friendly / Confident} They might, but they'll have something to think about if they do.Barney: Now, about that reward...Y1a
32Player Default: Well, Reba and I appreciate it. We won't soon forget you.{happy / Neutral} Now, about that reward...Barney: Here's a key to my workshop in the Bunker. Reba II should be sitting on the table in there. I'd say you've earned her.A1a
33Barney: Now, about that reward...{Happy with the player / Relieved} Here's a key to my workshop in the Bunker. Reba II should be sitting on the table in there. I'd say you've earned her.A1a
34{Proud of himself / Friendly} Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe today is earmarked for some target practice. The Salem Volunteer Militia never rests!A1b
35DN083_BarneyRunsToBunker{Yelling to someone below him / Surprised} Are you crazy? Get out of the street before any more of them catch wind of you!Barney: Look, I'll open the gate and you get in here quick! I'm gonna let you in the bunker. Don't make me regret this.A1a
36Barney: Are you crazy? Get out of the street before any more of them catch wind of you!{Irritated} Look, I'll open the gate and you get in here quick! I'm gonna let you in the bunker. Don't make me regret this.A1a
37DN083_BarneySalemStoryPlayer Default: Yes, I'm really interested.{neutral / Sad} Ok, I guess I've got a minute.Barney: My family's lived in this town going back generations. Far as I can tell, we've been here as long as it has.A1a
38Player Default: On second thought, never mind.{Going back to cranky, all business Barney / Stern} Right. No time for reminiscing when there's work to be done.Player Default: Tell me what I'm supposed to be doing again.B1a
39Player Default: Only if you want to, Barney.{Opening up a bit to the player for once / Neutral} Yeah, I'll tell you. It'll do me some good to get this off my chest.Barney: My family's lived in this town going back generations. Far as I can tell, we've been here as long as it has.X1a
40Player Default: Barney, are you ok?{Starting to think sadly of the past / Sad} Yeah, I'm fine. It's just...Barney: My family's lived in this town going back generations. Far as I can tell, we've been here as long as it has.Y1a
41Player Default: Ok, I guess I've got a minute.{Reminiscing an old story to the player / Somber} My family's lived in this town going back generations. Far as I can tell, we've been here as long as it has.A1a
42{Reminiscing a little proud / Somber} Even after the bombs dropped, my folks worked hard to keep the town together and drive out any threats.A1b
43{Proud then a little irritated / Somber} We did such a good job that before I was even born, this place was one of the safest towns in the commonwealth. And soon everyone forgot how to be cautious.A1c
44{Upset no one would listen to him / Irritated} I begged the town council to let me train the militia, to teach the citizens how to shoot and fend for themselves. But they thought I was just paranoid.A1d
45{He was so sure, but no one listened / Somber} I knew something was coming, I just didn't know what. And when the mirelurks started rising out of the ocean, no one was ready.A1e
46{Sad he couldn't do more to help / Apologetic} I saved as many as I could, sniping crabbies from my roost upstairs. But for every one I saved, three were goners.A1f
47{Determined, the problems of the past won't happen again / Stern} That was a couple of year ago. Ever since then, I've vowed to protect this town, and I don't plan on breaking that vow.Player Default: People will come back, Barney.A1g
48Player Default: People will come back, Barney.{hopeful, but sad / Friendly} Yeah, I hope so, too.Barney: All right, enough chit chat. You've got a job to do, so go do it!A1a
49Player Default: I think you might want to consider moving on, Barney.{Kind of realizing this for the first time himself / Somber} No, I don't think I will. Even if no one comes back, I can't imagine living any place else.Barney: All right, enough chit chat. You've got a job to do, so go do it!B1a
50Player Default: First we have to get rid of all the mirelurks.{snapping out of reminiscing / Stern} You're right, gotta keep my mind on the jobBarney: All right, enough chit chat. You've got a job to do, so go do it!X1a
51Player Default: What'll you do now?{Coming to a conclusion / Somber} I figure the last Rook will die here, whether it's in the belly of one of those crabs, or in my bed many years from now.Barney: All right, enough chit chat. You've got a job to do, so go do it!Y1a
52Player Default: Yeah, I hope so, too.{Back to military, no nonsense Barney / Stern} All right, enough chit chat. You've got a job to do, so go do it!A1a
53DN083_BarneyStart{Happy} Ha ha! Take that!A2a
54{Yelling at someone below} You picked the wrong day to tick me off!A3a
55{Happy} I ain't running out of ammo anytime soon, crabby!A4a
56{Happy} Woo! Gotcha, didn't I?A5a
57{Happy} It's going to take a lot more than some big fish to scare me!A6a
58{Happy} Woo! Yeah!A7a
59DN083_BarneyStartQuest{As if he's talking to an idiot / Irritated} Son, did someone drop you on your head as a baby, or did you have to work to get this stupid?Player Default: That was stupid of me, I know. I wasn't thinking.A

61Player Default: I'm sorry if I caused any trouble.{A little apologetic / Apologetic} Listen, don't let an old codger like me scare you. I'm old and I'm cranky and I haven't had a guest in months.Barney: Barney Rook, commander of the Salem Volunteer Militia, at your service. I'm also the quartermaster, sergeant at arms, and scribe for all official meetings.A1a

I saved your sorry butt, the least you can do is keep me company for five stinking minutes!Barney: Barney Rook, commander of the Salem Volunteer Militia, at your service. I'm also the quartermaster, sergeant at arms, and scribe for all official meetings.B1a
63Player Default: You seem busy. I can show myself out.{As if he's talking to an idiot / Puzzled} Where? Back out there? Why not just ring the dinner bell and serve yourself up on a plate? No, better to stay in here for a little while, at least.Barney: Barney Rook, commander of the Salem Volunteer Militia, at your service. I'm also the quartermaster, sergeant at arms, and scribe for all official meetings.X1a
64Player Default: Who's Reba? Are you talking about your gun?{Proud of his gun / Impressed} She's not just a gun! She's top of the line, best gun in the Commonwealth. Made her with my own two hands.

I'm also the quartermaster, sergeant at arms, and scribe for all official meetings.Y1a

67Player Default: Thank you, Reba. And thank you, Barney.{Polite / Neutral} No thanks needed, sir. The Salem Volunteer Militia is at the service of the people of the Commonwealth. Duty is its own reward.A1a
68{an added aside / Friendly} Reba says you're welcome.Barney: Now, I'd love to sit here gabbing all day like a couple of house wives, but we've got some work to do. And by we, I most definitely mean you.A1b
69Player Default: Thank you, Reba. And thank you, Barney.{Polite / Confident} No thanks needed, ma'am. The Salem Volunteer Militia is at the service of the people of the Commonwealth. Duty is its own reward.A2a
70{proud of reba / Friendly} Reba says you're welcome.Barney: Now, I'd love to sit here gabbing all day like a couple of house wives, but we've got some work to do. And by we, I most definitely mean you.A2b
71Player Default: Just two of you? Have you considered a membership drive?{sarcastic / Irritated} Oh, look, Reba. A comedian. Laugh all you want, but remember the last person that scoffed at the S.V.M. is crab stool.Barney: Now, I'd love to sit here gabbing all day like a couple of house wives, but we've got some work to do. And by we, I most definitely mean you.B1a
72Player Default: You two have got your work cut out for you.{thinking of the past / Stern} It was a lot easier when it wasn't just the two of us.X1a
73{militaristic / Confident} The S.V.M. remains vigilant, despite overwhelming odds against us.Barney: Now, I'd love to sit here gabbing all day like a couple of house wives, but we've got some work to do. And by we, I most definitely mean you.X1b
74Player Default: Is it just the two of you? Where is everyone else?{Thinking of the past / Somber} Wasn't always just two of us...Barney: Now, I'd love to sit here gabbing all day like a couple of house wives, but we've got some work to do. And by we, I most definitely mean you.Y1a
75Player Default: Reba says you're welcome.{Down to business / Irritated} Now, I'd love to sit here gabbing all day like a couple of house wives, but we've got some work to do. And by we, I most definitely mean you.A1a
76{down to business / Stern} Before you showed up, the Mirelurks had been mostly quiet. And those that were a problem were quickly dispatched by my turret defense system.A1b
77{Down to business / Neutral} Since things had been quiet lately, I took the turrets offline to conserve ammunition. Obviously, they need to be reactivated.A1c
78{all about the mission / Stern} And that's your mission, soldier. I'm going to continue to hold down the home front while you go reactivate the turrets.Player Default: Sounds good.A1d
79Player Default: Sounds good.{Proud of himself / Irritated} Of course it sounds good, I'm a tactical genius. Smartest man in town, as a matter of fact.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.A1a
80Player Default: What if I say no?{Scolding / Sarcastic} Well, then I'll go take care of them myself, grow older and crankier, and if I ever see you again, I'll put a bullet in your ass.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.B1a
81Player Default: What's in it for me?{Revealing a secret he's hiding from "someone in the room" / Conspiratorial} Look, don't tell Reba, but I've been working on a sister for her in my spare time. I'm thinking of calling her "Reba II." She's in the back room.X1a
82{a little conspiratorial / Friendly} She's not as tough as her older sister, but she's all yours if you help me out. Reba would probably get jealous anyway.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.X1b
83Player Default: What's in it for me?{Negotiating / Question} Ok, how about I throw in 200 caps? That starting to sound good to you?Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.X2a
84Player Default: What's in it for me?{Negotiating / Stern} More of a mercenary than a soldier, I see. How does 400 caps sound? Not like I have to save for Christmas presents anymore.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.X3a
85Player Default: What's in it for me?{Negotiations have failed, he's not having any crap from the player / Irritated} I'm sorry if you were under the impression that this was some sort of negotiation, but I'm afraid you were mistaken.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.X4a
86Player Default: What's in it for me?{business only / Neutral} Nothing to think about, this is your assignment. Take it or leave it.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.X5a
87Player Default: What do I need to do again?{Neutral} I'll show you where the turrets are, you go reactivate them, they start serving up the mirelurks some hot lead.Barney: The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.Y1a
88Player Default: Of course it sounds good, I'm a tactical genius. Smartest man in town, as a matter of fact.{stating the mission / Stern} The turrets should be easy enough to find. They're up high in strategic locations around town.A1a
89{advising caution / Stern} Just be careful. All your noise probably woke up more crabbies and other mirelurks. The town could be crawling with them by now.A1b
90Player Default: That was stupid of me, I know. I wasn't thinking.{As if he's talking to an idiot / Irritated} No kidding, you weren't thinking. Wandering around like some aimless child, looking for their lost balloon.Barney: Luckily, I've got Reba here to help me crack those crabs wide open. Isn't that right, girl?A1a
91Player Default: I could have handled myself.{As if he's talking to an idiot / Sarcastic} Oh, I saw how you handle yourself. Froze on the spot, like a deer in headlights.B1a
92{Scolding the player / Mayor} If it weren't for me, you would've been cut up like a paper doll.Barney: Luckily, I've got Reba here to help me crack those crabs wide open. Isn't that right, girl?B1b
93Player Default: This place seemed empty. I thought everything was ok.{As if he's talking to an idiot / Disbelief} Ok? Do you go walking into every empty town you come across assuming everything is going to be "OK?" It's amazing that you're not a corpse already!Barney: Luckily, I've got Reba here to help me crack those crabs wide open. Isn't that right, girl?X1a
94Player Default: What the hell were those things?{Can't believe it / Disbelief} What, you've never seen a Mirelurk before? You must have lived a charmed life up until now.Y1a
95{Informing the player about something he hates / Irritated} Mirelurks are disgusting creatures that live near the water. Some of them look like walking fish men. Others, like big, butt ugly lobsters.Y1b
96{informative / Concerned} The ones outside, the crabby looking ones. Those S.O.B's are hard to kill, on account of the armor you saw.Barney: Luckily, I've got Reba here to help me crack those crabs wide open. Isn't that right, girl?Y1c
97Player Default: No kidding, you weren't thinking. Wandering around like some aimless child, looking for their lost balloon.{Very proud of Reba, his gun whom he treats like a person / Confident} Luckily, I've got Reba here to help me crack those crabs wide open. Isn't that right, girl?Player Default: I'm sorry if I caused any trouble.A1a
98-{Angry} A traitor in our midst! Get him, Reba!
99{Irritated} Quit digging around in my pockets and be serious.
100{Irritated} I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this isn't necessarily a covert mission.
101{Irritated} Now, now. You stay out of there.
102{Stern} No time for chatter.
103{Stern} The mission comes first. Get going.
