| 1 | Be seeing you around. | 0072CB08 | Ya, well, stay safe out there, ya hear? |
|
| 2 | Any tips for surviving out here? | 0072CB15 | Get to know the locals. Can't survive out here all on your lonesome. Least not for long. |
|
| 3 | Whether you be buyin' goods from the settlements or sellin' goods of your own, commerce is still king. | |||
| 4 | What's going on here? | 0072CB13 | We're with the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. This here is a little pit-stop along our route, but we're lookin' to head out again soon. |
|
| 5 | Okay, thanks. | 0072CB1A | You bet. |
|
| 6 | Do you guys have anything to trade? I could use supplies. | 0072CB1E | Well, Blue Ridge doesn't sell much of anything itself. We provide protection to the folks that do, though. |
|
| 7 | I do have a few knickknacks on me, but if you're lookin' to do some shopping, head toward one of the major settlements, like Foundation or maybe Crater. | |||
| 8 | I'm surprised there's any "companies" left after the bombs. | 0072CB0E | Well, we can thank our owner and chief of operations Joana Mayfield for that. Or hey, you can just thank her yourself if you're ever near Big Bend West. |
Bit of a chuckle |
| 9 | She's an expert in adaptability that one. Managed to transform her granpappy's trucking business into a post-war beacon of hope. | Proud | ||
| 10 | Th'aint many operations like this out there. And certainly not as many operatin' at our size and reach. | Proud | ||
| 11 | Any in particular "locals" I should look out for? | 0072CB17 | The biggest players are Foundation and the Crater. They may hate each other but they both love caps. |
A bit cynical |
| 12 | The Whitespring is home to the Responders and all other sorts... plenty of places to do business there. You can find them at that fancy golf course. | |||
| 13 | There's also them Brotherhood of Steel, but uh... Well, we don't get along so well, and we keep our distance. I'd reckon you ought do the same. | A but uneasy | ||
| 14 | Wait, I can set up my own shop? | 0072CB0A | Sure, I've seen some of you Vault types selling all manner of goods. What with them "camps" or what have you. |
Unsure what black magic lets player's sell things in their player camps |
| 15 | 'Course, you could also sell your ill gotten gains to any vendor in town, but you can pick your own price if you're sellin' from your own homestead. | |||
| 16 | Now how you go about doin' that is probably some Vault-Tec secret or somethin'. I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. | in over his head, waving the conversation off | ||
| 17 | Where or what is Foundation? | 0072CB09 | Foundation is a settlement in the mountains way south of here. Safe spot to sell goods or just rest for a spell. |
|
| 18 | Salt of the Earth types, lookin' to rebuild the world as it once was. Maybe a little naive, but good folk none the less. | |||
| 19 | Can you tell me about the Crater? | 0072CB14 | If you've got grit, the Crater is a decent spot to make a few caps. If you don't got grit, it's a good place to lose your caps... or your life. |
emphasis on LOSE. |
| 20 | It's a whole town of Raiders, so do what you will with that information. You'll find 'em up North, in some crazy spaceship lookin' wreckage. | |||
| 21 | The Whitespring? Responders? Not familiar with those. | 0072CB07 | Well, the Whitespring is a big fancy hotel from way, way back. For a while, it was a ghost town of robots and Feral Ghouls. |
|
| 22 | But not too long ago, the Responders-- a group created to assist those in need after the bombs-- well, they took over the place. | |||
| 23 | Turned into a sort of hub of commerce and wasteland assistance. Definitely stop by. Friendly folks and safe shelter. Can't ask for much more now, right? | |||
| 24 | Can you tell me more about the Brotherhood of Steel? | 0072CB12 | Don't know how much I can tell. Boss lady tells us to keep our distance, and I do. Gladly. |
Not a subject he enjoys |
| 25 | Seem like self-important thugs totin' around some unwarranted authority. They're holed up in this mountain fortress. Really completes "the look." | Not a fan. "The look of a evil villains" he means. | ||
| 26 | Bad news in my book. Seem like the kind of folk that'd shoot ya dead then give you a ticket for wastin' their bullets. No thank you. | |||
| 27 | Thanks for all the information. | 0072CB1F | Always happy to help a wanderer in need. Anything else ya want to know? |
|
| 28 | And what's YOUR story, old timer? | 0072CB0F | Me? Ah, who cares what my story is. Pre-war dinosaurs like me are still a dime a dozen. |
Waving it off |
| 29 | But.. since ya asked... I've been working with Blue Ridge since the trucking days. Joana's Granpappy hired me, god rest his tired soul. | Coming around to revealing that he's more than happy to tell his tale | ||
| 30 | I ain't exactly fit to guard a caravan on my owns anymore, but I've still got plenty of know-how to share with the youngin's. | |||
| 31 | Got my name from all them dollar bills linin' my pockets back in the day... I was a regular millionaire, I tell you what. | Trying to pull a fast one | ||
| 32 | [INT 4+] A millionaire? That doesn't add up. | 0072CB19 | Ha! Saw right through me. Okay, maybe I got my name from all them bills I was owin', but the war washed that debt away. |
Not upset, he doesn't mind if people call him out |
| 33 | But let's you an' me keep that one a secret. | Friendly | ||
| 34 | Thanks for sharing, Johnny. | 0072CB0C | And thank you for carin'. |
|
| 35 | Let's talk about something else. OR Actually, I had a different question. |
0072CAE8 | Mm-hmm, whatchu need? |
Friendly |
| 36 | Are you guys hiring? I'm looking for work. OR Have any leads on work? |
0072CAE9 | Blue Ridge is always happy to pay a few caps to keep guns pointed in the right direction. |
Welcoming |
| 37 | If you're interested, head down to the Big Bend Tunnel, east entrance. There's a real cheery fella named Vinny Costa that can set you up with work. | Vinny is grumpy, not cheery | ||
| 38 | Ain't the most glamorous job, and it's a fair hike from here, but we'll pay ya right. | |||
| 39 | I'll mark it on your map, just in case. | |||
| 40 | What is the Blue Ridge Caravan Company? OR The Blue Ridge Caravan? What's that? |
0072CAEA | We're a modern interpretation of what you'd call a trucking company back in the day. Cept instead of 18-wheelers, we're drivin' Brahmin. |
Thinking through this explanation as he's giving it |
| 41 | We've got clients from all over that we provide protection to, along with knowledge of safe routes and good places to set up shop. | Pretty proud | ||
| 42 | Our base of operations in Appalachia is just outside the Big Bend Tunnel, quite a ways south from here. | |||
| 43 | 0072CA6E | 0072CAF8 | Hey there. You're lookin' greener than Bloatfly piss. Little lost, are ya? |
The player is a newbie (thus green). Friendly |
| 44 | 0072CAF9 | Don't mind us, just givin' the Brahmin a break. |
Friendly | |
| 45 | 0072CAFA | I'd stick to the roads if I were you. |
Friendly advice | |
| 46 | 0072CAFB | Hey there, traveler. |
Friendly | |
| 47 | 0072CAFC | Oh, I can smell the Brahmin on you. Bet you've done your share of runs through Big Bend. Good on ya. |
Recognizes a fellow veteran, impressed | |
| 48 | 0072CA6F | 0072CB1B | What can I do ya for? We're in the middle of a shipment, so I'm afraid no one's here to do business... If you were were lookin' for trade that is. |
Friendly |
| 49 | 0072CB1C | You're that rookie Vinny mentioned. Mighty kind of ya to help out the youngbloods like that. Need somethin'? |
Recognizes the player | |
| 50 | 0072CB1D | I'm thinkin' Brahmin are twice as strong as Pre-War cattle... Havin' two heads and all. Muscles just doubled up, like lasagna. That there's science. |
Friendly, maybe joking? ... Maybe? | |
| 51 | 00732681 | 00732684 | Keep the line movin'! |
|
| 52 | 00732685 | This is a better workout than truckin' ever was. |
||
| 53 | 00732686 | Gonna get a big ol' bowl of soup back at Big Bend. |
||
| 54 | 00732687 | Where's the next stop again? |
