|
Used to be Versicorps Tower before the bombs. It's the tallest building in Pittsburgh.
|
Casually offering info.
|
| 2
|
It was the full shebang pre-war. Had a shopping mall, restaurants, offices, and even a few research labs.
|
Impressed by the tower's magnitude but also judgmental of how high-class it was.
|
| 3
|
The general vibe was high-class, sleek, and modern. Not so much anymore.
|
Reflecting on the unfortunate situation of post-war life.
|
| 4
|
The whole building has a stick up its ass.
|
Making a sarcastic joke.
|
| 5
|
00699B1C
|
Oh, there's a whole score of reasons. For one, being a literal skyscraper, it's an amazing vantage point to keep tabs on the whole city.
|
Explaining to the player.
|
| 6
|
In addition to that, it's essentially a treasure trove of food and supplies stocked up from before the war.
|
Continuing to explain to the player the objective advantage to taking the tower.
|
| 7
|
I bet a lot of it has been picked clean by now, but the Fanatics use what little of it that they can as a storehouse.
|
Still giving an objective debrief to the player.
|
| 8
|
Smart of them. It's basically impenetrable, so it's not like we can just walk in and steal it.
|
Hates the Fanatics, but admires their tact.
|
| 9
|
00699B1D
|
My "people" are struggling just to hold the front line right now.
|
Annoyed that the player is asking this question.
|
| 10
|
We hardly have enough numbers to keep that up. So how can we expect to gain a foothold over the Fanatics if we can barely keep up with them?
|
Frustrated and annoyed.
|
| 11
|
0069FBC3
|
The "Bastion" is a recent nickname. I can assure you, no one called it that before the bombs fell.
|
|
| 12
|
I used to work there. Versicorps was a pretty formidable megacorporation during the war.
|
|
| 13
|
They provided nuclear fusion power systems to most of the Vault-Tec vaults as a secondary power system.
|
|
| 14
|
They donated a large sum of money towards the construction of the tower, and even had some of their corporate offices there.
|
|
| 15
|
You know how money talks. The tower was named for them.
|
|
| 16
|
0069FBC4
|
I was a biochemical engineer in another life. I used to work in Versicorps Tower before the bombs.
|
|
| 17
|
I suppose you can guess where I was when they fell.
|
|
| 18
|
Now I'm just another survivor. No amount of education or fancy terminology will set me apart from any other poor soul left in the Pitt.
|
|
| 19
|
0069FBC5
|
A leader? Haha, no dear. I WAS a scientist before the war. If I was charismatic, I'd have worn a suit instead of a lab coat.
|
Laughs dryly at the suggestion.
|
| 20
|
However, the Underdwellers have come to respect my opinion on important matters.
|
|
| 21
|
I help in the decision-making around here, but I am not the decision maker. We function as a community. We don't have a leader.
|
|
| 22
|
0069FBC6
|
Simply put, we aren't interested in fighting a losing battle. The Pitt may have been my home once, but a wise woman recognizes when a battle is lost.
|
Straightforward and grim.
|
| 23
|
War is not always worth its price. The Union wants to fight until that war is over, and it will only ever end with their deaths.
|
Grim.
|
| 24
|
0069FBC7
|
There are some server towers left over from before the war that stored our research data
|
Explanatory.
|
| 25
|
They have information on them that...should not see the light of day.
|
Cryptic, hiding a painful memory.
|
| 26
|
It goes without saying that the only people I trust to not exploit that data are the trogs.
|
Making a sarcastic joke.
|
| 27
|
I need you to wipe some of the computers with access to the servers. There should be about five total.
|
Giving instructions.
|
| 28
|
0069FBC8
|
Goodness, what a relief! You'll need to access several different terminals in order to wipe the data from them.
|
Genuinely relieved.
|
| 29
|
I hope you've refined your hacking skills. Tune into this frequency once you've taken care of the last one.
|
Explaining the task at hand.
|
| 30
|
And please, be careful. Those terminals will be in the heart of the nest.
|
Worried for the player's safety.
|
| 31
|
0069FBC9
|
Not all research is done for good. We dug deeper than we should've, and there are some things better left unknown.
|
Regretful and mournful.
|
| 32
|
There's too many corrupt people in this world to just let it lie. It plays on my conscience every day.
|
Genuinely regretful.
|
| 33
|
0069FBCA
|
They're scattered around the upper levels. You'll find some in the research labs, the office spaces, and a few in the maintenance wings.
|
Giving directional advice.
|
| 34
|
The data was stored on our private servers, so it's hard for me to recall every single system that retained copies of it.
|
Struggling to remember.
|
| 35
|
0069FBCB
|
I don't look like the hardy type, do I? I'm afraid the creatures within the tower would tear me apart on sight.
|
Being realistic about her own abilities.
|
| 36
|
0069FBCC
|
I understand. I do implore you to reconsider. You'd be doing humanity a massive favor. Until then, I'll be here.
|
Understanding, but disappointed.
|
| 37
|
00699AD3
|
00699B07
|
So I can finally put a face to the carnage. You handled yourself pretty well. But don't pat yourself on the back yet.
|
Thankful, friendly, relieved.
|
| 38
|
It's only going to get rougher from here on out.
|
Brutally honest.
|
| 39
|
00699B09
|
Thanks for the fire support. You're not around much but, damn, when you're here things get a helluva lot easier. Guess that's why we need you now.
|
Thankful, relieved, but also tired.
|
| 40
|
00699B0B
|
It's embarrassing at this point. Constantly needing to get bailed out of near extinction.
|
Tired, resentful.
|
| 41
|
But...*sighs* don't think I'm not grateful for your help. We'd be paste if it wasn't for your help.
|
Tired, but still grateful.
|
| 42
|
I won't sugarcoat things. The situation with the Bastion hasn't improved much at all.
|
Tired, resentful.
|
| 43
|
The area is still hotly contested, and we are basically fighting tooth and nail just to keep up with the Fanatics' efforts.
|
Upset at the reality of the situation.
|
| 44
|
Yet we aren't gaining any ground. Do you think you could get back in there for us and raise some hell?
|
Frustrated, resentful. Sighs in between "ground" and "do you think."
|
| 45
|
00699B0D
|
Have you decided to actually help instead of just rudely walking away?
|
Annoyed.
|
| 46
|
0069FBB4
|
We can talk face to face or lead to flesh. Your choice.
|
Aggressive and confrontational, but is giving the player a chance to explain themselves.
|
| 47
|
00699AD4
|
00699AFD
|
Best news I've heard all day. I'm sure you can put two and two together and probably figured you can't just waltz into the Bastion.
|
Happy the player agreed to help her, but goes back to business.
|
| 48
|
The main entrance is a warzone right now. You'd get turned to Swiss cheese if you even tried.
|
Bluntly honest.
|
| 49
|
However, there's another entrance. If you go through the old subway system under the Pitt, you can get in from underground.
|
Straight to business.
|
| 50
|
Only problem is, there's people down there, too. 'Cept they aren't hostile.
|
Doesn't think too highly of the people she's speaking about.
|
| 51
|
They call themselves the "Underdwellers." They hate the Fanatics and will shoot them on sight;. It's the only reason they're still alive.
|
Very blunt.
|
| 52
|
But they're too cowardly to join up and fight 'em. They're generally not hostile towards us, but that's only because we leave them alone.
|
Judgmental and frustrated.
|
| 53
|
If you went trapezing through their home turf, they wouldn't be too pleased.
|
Blunt and honest.
|
| 54
|
Do something to get on their good side, and they'll let you pass through unscathed.
|
Blunt.
|
| 55
|
00699AD7
|
00699AFF
|
I don't have a clue. It wouldn't benefit me at all to hide anything from you.
|
Genuinely doesn't know, is very blunt.
|
| 56
|
Could it be their own incompetence? Maybe, but as cruel as they are, the Fanatics aren't incompetent.
|
Speculating in a blunt and frustrated tone.
|
| 57
|
Maybe the Bastion's just too much for them to handle.
|
Doesn't actually believe this, but just wants to insult them.
|
| 58
|
00699ADD
|
00699AF8
|
|
|
| 59
|
00699ADF
|
00699B02
|
We're winning small battles, but we're still losing the war right now.
|
Serious and grim.
|
| 60
|
We've been fighting tooth and nail against the Fanatics for control of the tallest building in Pittsburgh.
|
Serious and defiant.
|
| 61
|
The Bastion.
|
A bit of dramatic flair surrounding this name without being too over the top.
|
| 62
|
We've had them caught in a stalemate for a while now, but our numbers and supplies are dwindling whereas they're only growing stronger.
|
Describing a grim situation.
|
| 63
|
Continuing this fight is going to slowly kill us, but we're equally fucked if we let them take the Bastion. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
|
Harsh and frustrated with her situation.
|
| 64
|
Recently, the Fanatics have managed to actually push their way inside of the building. For some reason, they haven't taken it over. Strange.
|
Genuinely confused about this, but doesn't really care why they aren't successful since she wants to get the upper hand anyway.
|
| 65
|
I don't know what's stopping them from doing so, but I can tell you it hasn't been us, that's for sure.
|
A bit upset with herself that the Union haven't been the force that prevents the Fanatics from getting in.
|
| 66
|
However, we can't even allow them to make it that far. I need someone to go in and sabotage their operations.
|
Blunt and to the point.
|
| 67
|
You in?
|
Defiantly asking the player if they will help the Union.
|
| 68
|
00699AE1
|
00699AF9
|
|
|
| 69
|
00699AE3
|
00699B04
|
It's the only place they won't get shot. Plain and simple.
|
Casual and matter of fact.
|
| 70
|
They've gotten really good at using the space to their advantage.
|
Matter of fact.
|
| 71
|
If some Fanatics went down there trying to clear them out, they'd probably be able to pick em off. But they'd be toast against a full-frontal assault.
|
|
| 72
|
I guess the Fanatics haven't deemed them as worthy enough of a target to go full boar like that yet.
|
Casual and matter of fact.
|
| 73
|
00699AE5
|
00699AFA
|
Because they're a bunch of pansies who are so afraid of the Fanatics that they'd rather live with the rats underground.
|
Vindictive and petty.
|
| 74
|
We've tried to recruit them before. They're skeptics. They don't think we can truly drive the Fanatics out of Pittsburgh
|
Annoyed.
|
| 75
|
Maybe they're right. But I'm not going to give up our home without a fight.
|
Defiant and determined.
|
| 76
|
00699AE7
|
00699B05
|
I figured. It's not like you to turn down a challenge.
|
Admiring the player's gumption.
|
| 77
|
Before we can get started, our new friends the Underdwellers could use your assistance again.
|
Getting straight down to business.
|
| 78
|
00699AED
|
00699AFB
|
I'm still standing here talking to you, and the Fanatics haven't taken the Bastion yet. That is a major improvement.
|
Defiant, and desperate to prove a point. Emphasis on "that"
|
| 79
|
00699AF1
|
00699AFE
|
|
|
| 80
|
00699AF3
|
00699B16
|
They're a bunch of, how do I put this...? They're a neutral party that lives underground in the old subway system.
|
Is about to viciously insult them, but then stops herself and tries to find a very polite and sanitized way of saying what she REALLY wants to say.
|
| 81
|
They hate the Fanatics enough where they won't join up, but they're too afraid to fight against them with the Union.
|
Judgmental and annoyed.
|
| 82
|
00699AF5
|
00699B00
|
You did. Only problem is, the Underdwellers are our only in to the Bastion until the warzone at the entrance dies down.
|
Matter of fact and blunt.
|
| 83
|
Until then, we need to make sure they maintain their hold on the subway system and aren't exterminated by the Fanatics.
|
Matter of fact and blunt.
|
| 84
|
So yeah, we need to lend a hand when they need help.
|
Resentful about this.
|
| 85
|
00699AF6
|
00699B18
|
The Fanatics have set up explosives to go kaboom above the subway. They're hoping to collapse it from the top in order to draw the Underdwellers out.
|
Serious and matter of fact.
|
| 86
|
Thing is, these explosives are activated remotely. Good for the Fanatics, but also good for us. This means they give off radio signals.
|
Matter of fact.
|
| 87
|
I need you to track down the explosives and disarm them.
|
To the point and matter of fact.
|
| 88
|
Now get moving! I have no idea how much time we have before the Fanatics decide to detonate 'em.
|
Urgent and serious.
|
| 89
|
00699B19
|
Being the sadistic bastards that they are, the Fanatics have set up turrets around all the manholes leading in and out of the subway.
|
Angry and frustrated with the situation.
|
| 90
|
They're waiting for the Underdwellers to pop out so they can gun them down like some sick game of whack-a-mole.
|
Angry and filled with hate towards the Fanatics.
|
| 91
|
If you destroy the ammo supply dumps around the entrances, they won't be able to bring in new turrets for a while.
|
Serious and to the point.
|
| 92
|
Be careful. It's not just turrets you'll find. There's Fanatics guarding the entrances as well.
|
A grim word of warning.
|
| 93
|
Watch your back. Those turrets can be brutal.
|
A grim word of warning and goodbye.
|
| 94
|
00699B1A
|
I'll need you to be a bit crafty here. The Underdwellers have dropboxes scattered around the Industrial District.
|
Matter of fact and to the point.
|
| 95
|
They use 'em to hide loot in while scavenging aboveground. One of our scouts has intel on the locations of a few of them.
|
Serious and to the point.
|
| 96
|
I need you to find the dropboxes and leave these supply packages in them as a gesture of good will from the Union.
|
Straight to the point.
|
| 97
|
They'll be locked up pretty tight, but you look like the type who's picked a lock before. No offense.
|
She doesn't really care if she offends the player or not.
|
| 98
|
A word of warning before you go: don't let your guard down. There's bound to be more Fanatics in the area.
|
A grim word of warning and goodbye.
|
| 99
|
00699AF7
|
00699B0F
|
Quick introduction. I'm Hex, you're the backup we've been asking for. No time for small talk.
|
Strained, desperate and fed up with her current situation. She is venting her frustration to the player.
|
| 100
|
We're under heavy fire from the Fanatics and can't make a move until we get these assholes off our backs. Get to the Penn when you land ASAP!
|
Strained, desperate and fed up with her current situation. She is venting her frustration to the player.
|
| 101
|
00699B11
|
You again? You have a habit of showing up when everything goes to shit, don't you?
|
Strained, desperate and fed up with her current situation. She is venting her frustration to the player.
|
| 102
|
We're going to need your help big time.
|
Strained, desperate and fed up with her current situation. She is venting her frustration to the player.
|
| 103
|
The Fanatics are drowning the Penn in gunfire right now! Get over here as soon as you land!
|
Strained, desperate and fed up with her current situation. She is venting her frustration to the player.
|
| 104
|
00699B13
|
Man, am I glad to hear from you!
|
Friendly and colloquial with the player, genuinely relieved that they are coming.
|
| 105
|
The Fanatics are trying to push into the Penn to take us out, so as you can imagine, it's just another Tuesday for us.
|
Friendly and colloquial with the player, genuinely relieved that they are coming. Angry at the Fanatics.
|
| 106
|
Get here as soon as you can so we can take these bastards out!
|
Angry at the Fanatics.
|
| 107
|
0069FB72
|
0069FBBB
|
You're the one Hex sent? The one from Appalachia?
|
Surprised and doubtful.
|
| 108
|
0069FB74
|
0069FBAC
|
So you expect me to just let you trapeze past all these people while armed to the gills because you're just "passing through"?
|
Sarcastic.
|
| 109
|
Yeah, I don't think so.
|
Annoyed at the player.
|
| 110
|
0069FB76
|
0069FBBE
|
I do. Consider yourself lucky. We don't talk to most of them first
|
Stern and straight to the point, a bit threatening.
|
| 111
|
Now, I'm going to ask you again, how is this going to go down?
|
Not accepting any nonsense.
|
| 112
|
0069FB78
|
0069FBAF
|
Ha! Let's hope you're a quick draw then!
|
Ready for a challenge.
|
| 113
|
0069FB79
|
0069FBC1
|
Put the gun down, Derek. You know the saying, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you?"
|
Trying to calm him, annoyed at his sense of bravado.
|
| 114
|
0069FB7A
|
0069FBB1
|
I-well-yes, I do. Why?
|
He stammers. Clearly she is well-respected.
|
| 115
|
0069FB7B
|
0069FBCD
|
You don't shoot it, either.
|
Sarcastic and annoyed.
|
| 116
|
0069FB7C
|
0069FBB5
|
I apologize for that uncouth reception. I do hope you don't view us as a bunch of savages.
|
Cordial and apologetic.
|
| 117
|
Let me introduce myself. My name is Marilyn, Marilyn Crestlawn. I presume you're here on behalf of the Union?
|
Straightforward yet very polite.
|
| 118
|
0069FB7E
|
0069FBA6
|
I thought as much. You look too competent to have wandered in here accidentally.
|
Complimentary.
|
| 119
|
0069FB80
|
0069FBB7
|
If you were a Fanatic, there would've been more blood and less conversation.
|
Straight to the point, vague hint of a threat.
|
| 120
|
0069FB81
|
0069FBA8
|
Hex briefed us that you'd be coming. You are, of course, welcome to pass through.
|
Polite and cordial.
|
| 121
|
However, before we can open up the entrance, it behooves me to warn you of what you'll find within Versicorps Tower.
|
Blunt, cordial and polished.
|
| 122
|
0069FB83
|
0069FBBA
|
Let me cut to the chase. The tower is swarmed with trogs.
|
Polite, cordial, refined.
|
| 123
|
The monsters that skulk around Pittsburgh eating people and trash alike. A good day here is a day gone without seeing one.
|
Concealing a huge disgust for trogs.
|
| 124
|
And when I say "swarmed", I mean the entire damn building's a nest of them. I doubt most people even know.
|
Loses a sense of her politeness.
|
| 125
|
It's hard enough to get in with folks killing each other left and right, and impossible to get out with some mutant eating your face off.
|
Detailing the grim situation in the most proper manner possible.
|
| 126
|
0069FB8D
|
0069FBB9
|
Take out some, maybe. But there's no way you can exterminate the whole nest. More just keep coming.
|
Trying to get the player to have realistic expectations.
|
| 127
|
Doing so would take a strong, consistent effort. Since you're going in, I have a favor to ask.
|
Genuinely needs help while asking the player to be realistic.
|
| 128
|
0069FB8F
|
0069FBAA
|
They were human, once. Maybe they still are. It's hard to really understand what made them turn.
|
Musing on the nature of what the monsters are.
|
| 129
|
Are these creatures only endemic to Pittsburgh, or has this happened elsewhere? I suppose it's impossible to know.
|
Purely speculating to herself.
|
| 130
|
They may have been humans at one point, but now they are mindless, bloodthirsty creatures who will rip you apart on sight.
|
Warning the player.
|
| 131
|
0069FB91
|
0069FBBC
|
I worked in the tower before the bombs. You could say I practically lived there with the hours I worked.
|
Speaking bluntly.
|
| 132
|
I would rather be holed up in a luxury business center than a sewer system. Only reason we're here and not there are the trogs.
|
Straightforward.
|
| 133
|
But you have a point. It's not common knowledge.
|
Admits the player is onto something.
|
| 134
|
0069FB93
|
0069FBAD
|
I'd...rather not speak about that. Let's just say I had some foolish, foolish colleagues who let their curiosity get in the way of self-preservation.
|
Reliving a painful memory.
|
| 135
|
Those colleagues aren't with us anymore. And if they are, you'll meet them in the tower. They're just not human anymore.
|
Morbid and foreboding.
|
| 136
|
0069FB95
|
0069FBBF
|
Apart from a barrage of trogs, it's what you'd expect of a classy commercial building.
|
Polite and cordial.
|
| 137
|
Shopping mall with restaurants, corporate offices, a few research labs. The building is extremely tall, the tallest in Pittsburgh.
|
Polite and cordial.
|
| 138
|
In my experience, the higher you go, the more trogs there are.
|
Giving an important warning.
|
| 139
|
0069FB99
|
0069FBC2
|
There's unfortunate truth to that. If you change your mind, I'll be here.
|
Disappointed, but understanding.
|
| 140
|
Good luck. You'll need it.
|
Genuine.
|
| 141
|
0069FBA4
|
0069FBA7
|
If we had time for praise, I'd be laying laurels on your head. But you need to get underground ASAP.
|
Serious and stressed out.
|
| 142
|
Go through the old subway tunnels and just keep heading down 'til all the lights are gone. Just whatever you do, play it cool.
|
Serious and advisory.
|
| 143
|
