GREETING

Neutral 50
|
Might I be safe in the assumption that matters with the Think Tank have been satisfactorily concluded, vis-à-vis your residence in this domicile?

Will sir be staying for any considerable length of time during sir's visit?

|

|
Salutations and felicitations, sir, and a most jocund welcome to the Sink.
|

|
| Neutral 50
|
I am your electronic {VAL-et} valet and household central processor. May I be of service, sir?

|
Sir? You are aware that I'm a woman, right?
|
Neutral 50
|
Indubitably, sir, but it is with a great lugubriousness that I must disclose that my programmers installed only the masculine honorific, sir.
|
6
|
| Neutral 50
|
Moreover they neglected to enclose a parameter by which said honorific might be omitted altogether - over my most strenuous of remonstrances, sir.
|

|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic001
|
Are you some kind of Artificial Intelligence?
|
Neutral 50
|
Regrettably not, sir. All modules in this habitat are synthetic personalities atop a mundane operating system. There is no intelligence here, sir.
|
8
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic002
|
I need my equipment repaired.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very good, sir.
|
9
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic003
|
What services do you provide?
|
Neutral 50
|
In addition to managing the personality matrices of the other household utilities, I can provide sir with direct access to the commissary.
|
10
|
| Neutral 50
|
Any goods sir might require may be purchased through my shopkeep interface, whence tiny robots shall deliver them forthwith to this very domicile.
|

|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic004
|
Why are there so many personality modules?
|
Neutral 50
|
As I am given to understand, sir, this facility was once the property of a Dr. Mobius.
|
12
|
| Neutral 50
|
He crafted the personality modules as part of a collection of experiments on the subject of machine/human interface.
|
13
|
| Neutral 50
|
As to the reason for the unusual choices of devices to receive the modules, I cannot say.
|
14
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic005
|
You mean there are other... personality modules here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Indeed, sir, though if sir's aim is to activate them I lament to inform sir that most have been offline for some years.
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
If sir were to ask my opinion, I should venture that sir is better off without them.
|
16
|
| Neutral 50
|
However, if sir is determined to inflict upon sir's self their dubious services, sir might locate backup personality disks elsewhere in the facility.
|
17
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic006
|
Why is that?
|
Neutral 50
|
The other modules are rather... erratic, sir. Their personality matrices are built on flawed logic and have not weathered the years well, sir.
|
18
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic007
|
So I can access their functions without loading the personality holotapes?
|
Neutral 50
|
Tragically, the core operating systems are also located on the personality tapes, sir.
|
19
|
| Neutral 50
|
Once the tape is installed, sir may request I switch their dialectic interfaces off, and I shall oblige with great delectation.
|
20
|
| Neutral 50
|
However, sir will still be required to locate and install a backup holotape to access their functionality.
|
21
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic008
|
Never mind, let me ask you something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Indubitably, sir.
|
22
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic009
|
I'd like to buy some things.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very good, sir. If I might suggest a table wine, the 64 Atomic Claret is a lovely little vintage.
|
23
|
| I'd like to buy some things.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very good, sir. And might I venture to opine that a new Trilby might be just the thing to complete sir's ensemble?
|
24
|
| I'd like to buy some things.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very good, sir. Should sir be in the market for a new suit of morning wear, I have several suggestions that might suit.
|

| I'd like to buy some things.
|
Neutral 50

Very good, sir.

|
Switch on the Sink's personality matrices.
|
Neutral 50
|
{Taken aback; this is a terrible idea but you don't want to say so.} Do you, sir? Well, if that is sir's wish, it is my primary directive. Personality matrices on-line, sir.
|
27
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic011
|
Switch off the Sink's personality matrices.
|
Neutral 50
|
{Smugly pleased} Very good indeed, sir. "Throwing out the riff-raff" protocols engaged. All personality matrices are off-line, sir.
|
28
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic012
|
I have some personality holotapes to install.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very good sir. Merely interface the holotapes with my console's input/output port, and I shall upload them directly.
|
29
|
| NVDLC03DialogueHQBuddiesNVDLC03SinkMainComputerTalkerTopic013
|
I don't need anything else. Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very good, sir.

{Narration} {<10 Locations explored} Although, truth be told, the Courier had barely explored the Crater in an attempt to rush through and be done with the whole thing...
|
32
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} Perhaps that was for the best, however... curiosity, while sometimes rewarded for its efforts, often proves to be equally dangerous.

|
{Narration} {10-25 Locations explored} The Courier had scoured much of the Big Empty, although secrets still remained in the crater's depths.

{Narration} {>25 Locations explored} The Sink Central Intelligence Unit was impressed by the amount of exploration the Courier had undertaken.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} Facilities believed lost, destroyed, or ones that had simply gotten up and walked to new locations had been re-discovered by its intrepid new master.
|
37
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} Internally, the artificial personality debated as to whether it preferred the old management to the new...
|
38
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} ...and concluded that the Courier's thorough approach to research and investigation was admirable and worthy of its respect.

{Narration} We could say more, but the stories in the Big Empty speak for themselves.

|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} Now armed with the {Trans-portal-ponder, combination mish-mash of Transporter + Transponder} Transportalponder, the Courier could return to the Dome at any time and crack open the secrets of the Big Empty, one by one.
|
41
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} The Sink sat vigilant, waiting for its master to return, shoes covered in Mojave dust.
|
42

| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} {Draw this to a close, wraps up the end movie} Only one road yet remained, and it was one the Courier had to walk alone.

{Narration} {1 module installed} The Sink was strangely silent, which it had never been in previous years. The lack of personality modules made the base lifeless and sterile.

{Narration} {2-4 modules installed} The Sink atop the Dome gained a frontier town feel with the few modules installed.

{Narration} They shouted at each other across the HQ occasionally, either threatening each other, or announcing a discovery. It kept things... lively.
|
46
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} Secretly, the Sink Central Intelligence Unit was relieved that not all of the personality chips had been found. What was there, was enough.
|

Neutral 50
|
{Narration} {5+ modules installed} The Sink atop the Dome bustled with the voices of a small town, constantly chirping, arguing, and snarling at each other.
|
48
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} Still, this all happened productively in the interests of its new owner.
|
49
|
| Neutral 50
|
{Narration} The Sink Central Intelligence Unit discovered, despite its inversion code, it was comforted by the sense of community the other personalities gave it.
