2GenericNPC_One: They're getting bolder. And if the batteries run out of juice...{Trying to be sly and subtle - it should be obvious he's talking about something shady} If we need more energy cells, they will be provided.GenericNPC_One: And the raiders?A1a
3GenericNPC_One: And the raiders?{Politician mode - concealing something} We all knew it was going to be tough to make something out of nothing. But remember what Covenant is about. It's worth it.GenericNPC_One: I know. But we won't help anyone if we all get wiped out.A1a
4GenericNPC_One: I know. But we won't help anyone if we all get wiped out.{Emphasize "dealt" - he's talking about something secret, but talking in code in case he's overheard} If it comes to that, the raiders will be dealt with. I guarantee that.GenericNPC_One: That's all I needed to know. Thanks, Jacob.A1a

46Player Default: Goodbye.{Friendly} Talk to you later.JacobOrden: Ask away.B1a
47Player Default: Tell me about yourself.{Friendly, proud} I make sure Penny, Talia, and everyone's got what they need. It's a full time job to keep our little community afloat.X1a

50{Friendly} Stay as long as you like.JacobOrden: Ask away.Y1b
51Player Default: Do you know anything about a missing caravan?{Politician denial - maybe his facade cracks a little on "many times" and reveals anger / Irritated} Is this about those Stockton people? I've told Mr. Dan many, many times - we never saw them.Player Default: Do you know anything about a missing caravan?A1a
52Player Default: I have to go.{Doesn't mean it} You have a good day.B1a
53Player Default: You ever hear of a Compound?{Politician's denial - could be lying} Why that sounds interesting, stranger. But I can't say I've ever heard of a... Compound, was it?Player Default: Do you know anything about a missing caravan?X1a
54Player Default: You ever hear of a Compound?{Politician making a smooth joke} If you ask me, I think Dan's been baking in the sun too long. The only secret we got here is what's in Deezer's lemonade.X2a
55{Sardonic} And if you can get Deezer to tell you, you just got to fill me in. As the robot says, "It's dee-licious."Player Default: Do you know anything about a missing caravan?X2b
56Player Default: Does Covenant have a problem with synths?{The question almost breaks his politician's mask - undercurrents here of deep feelings (hatred) / Irritated} Shouldn't everyone have a problem with synths? But there's none of those... things here. Rest assured.Player Default: Do you know anything about a missing caravan?Y1a

60Player Default: Give me the caps and I'll drop the whole thing.{Relief! / Friendly} Here you go. Come back anytime.JacobOrden: Tell you what. I'll let the Compound know you're coming. Then you can make your case to them. Good luck.A1a

62Player Default: Surely, there's room for compromise? I get Stockton's survivors and we stay... friends.

I'll let the Compound know you're coming. Then you can make your case to them. Good luck.X2a
64Player Default: How can you justify killing a caravan?{Hard sell on the player} It isn't as simple as all that. Hasn't our community been good to you? And others passing through?Y1a
