| 1 | 005B67D5 | 005B6863 | So you're having doubts, then? I... wouldn't usually do this. But I have a feeling about you. What would it take to convince you? |
|
| 2 | 005B67D6 | 005B685D | Nice try, but I'm gonna need a bigger commitment than that. |
|
| 3 | 005B67D7 | 005B685F | She's more than a rung in a hierarchy. Sheena plans our operations. She's got a head for strategy. |
|
| 4 | Said she used to play Blast Radius on repeat as a kid, until she could beat everyone she knew, including the adults. | |||
| 5 | Imagine that. World's gone to shit and people still find solace in games. | |||
| 6 | At that age, I was... well, still in school, studying for a future that never came to be. | |||
| 7 | 005B67DB | 005B6868 | We have plenty of support. Not everyone wants to be directly involved, but those who do are ready to risk life and limb. |
|
| 8 | There's also your fair share of mercenary Craterites just looking for caps. | |||
| 9 | But considering the Brotherhood could probably pay better, I suspect those mercs have an ounce of loyalty they're not willing to admit to. | |||
| 10 | 005B67DC | 005B6862 | What could be bigger than your sense of self? The body you walk through every other problem in? |
|
| 11 | 005B67DD | 005B685C | You know something? I don't either. Not fully, anyways. |
|
| 12 | 005B67DE | 005B6865 | Talk to me again when you're on our side. |
|
| 13 | 005B67E2 | 005B6869 | We all have a public perception in this world. Sometimes it doesn't match what we feel inside. And sometimes there's nothing we can do about that. |
|
| 14 | But other times, there is. And I don't need to understand everything Burke is feeling to want to see a smile on their face. | |||
| 15 | 005B67E4 | 005B6867 | Burke's our muscle, and the most hardworking person we've got. |
|
| 16 | They don't talk much. Action is more their language. I wouldn't have it any other way. | |||
| 17 | 005B67E7 | 005B6866 | Because it suits them better. When I first met Burke... they were different. Secluded. Like they didn't want anyone to see them. |
|
| 18 | Burke flinched when others talked about them. People expected things based on how they looked. They had these... titles. The Silent Man. Albino Dog. | |||
| 19 | One day I asked if something else would feel better. It took some trial and error, but we eventually settled on the neutral "they". | |||
| 20 | They're a much happier person now, for the insignificant price of a word. | |||
| 21 | 005B67E8 | 005B6861 | Why not get to know them yourself? I'm sure you'll find there's more than meets the eye. |
|
| 22 | 005B67EB | 005B6864 | Me too. |
|
| 23 | 005B67EC | 005B685E | Go right ahead. |
|
| 24 | 005B67EE | 005B6860 | Meg has enough on her plate without the Brotherhood to deal with. |
|
| 25 | I came to her one day with an army of Raiders, rarin' to fight. | |||
| 26 | She looked at me and said, "What are you waiting for? This ain't no democracy. Just don't get Crater in trouble and we're good." | |||
| 27 | So here we are. The War Party. | |||
| 28 | 005B67EF | 005B6819 | What's "to defeat" in Latin? I bet we could use that to demoralize them... |
Since the Brotherhood's motto is "to victory" in Latin (Ad Victoriam) |
| 29 | 005C3D4E | I can't believe they're always tromping around in that Power Armor. It must be all cramped and sweaty in there. |
||
| 30 | 005C3D4F | I could put up posters, but... Nah, Raiders want to see blood. I'll hand out skulls instead. |
||
| 31 | 005C3D50 | There's this really inspiring phrase. It's on the tip of my tongue... I must have read it somewhere. Damn. |
||
| 32 | 005C3D51 | Now where did I put that pesky piece of paper? |
||
| 33 | 005C3D52 | Anyone who messes with my family has another thing coming for them. |
||
| 34 | 005C3D53 | Next thing we know, those bucket-heads will be asking for permits just to enter Morgantown. |
||
| 35 | 005C3D54 | A robot uprising would be better than the Brotherhood. At least they'd have an excuse to be following their programming. |
||
| 36 | 005C3D55 | I won't let anything happen to the Crater. I swear my life on it. |
||
| 37 | 005C3D56 | They could make a move at any moment. I've gotta be ready. |
||
| 53 | 005B67F0 | 005B681C | I'd advise you to watch your step around here. |
|
| 54 | 005C3D44 | If you're not with us, you're against us. |
||
| 55 | 005C3D45 | I hope you're here for a reason. |
||
| 56 | 005C3D46 | This isn't exactly a visitor area. |
||
| 57 | 005C3D47 | I won't bite, but I can't speak for my associates. |
||
| 58 | 005C3D49 | Down with the man! |
||
| 59 | 005C3D4A | Welcome back, my fellow malcontent. |
||
| 60 | 005C3D4B | Cleaning up one tin can at a time. |
||
| 61 | 005C3D4C | Glad to see you're still in one piece. |
||
| 62 | 005C3D4D | Don't let the Brotherhood get you down. |
||
| 81 | 005B67F1 | 005B6829 | I just wanna say, I appreciate having you on our side. |
|
| 82 | 005B682A | If you've got a head for it, we could always use new strategies. But, uh, talk to Sheena about those. |
||
| 83 | 005B682B | With you on our side, the Brotherhood won't know what hit them. Am I right? |
||
| 84 | 005B682C | You ready to put up a fight today? I sure am. |
||
| 85 | 005B682D | So, how's it feel being a part of the War Party? |
||
| 111 | 00605A48 | Hey, thanks for getting my family back here in one piece. |
||
| 112 | 00605A49 | Well if it isn't the rustbucket who tried to leave my family for dead? |
||
| 113 | I would leave if I were you. Unless you want Burke to rearrange your face. I'm sure they'd be happy to do so. | |||
| 114 | 005B67F2 | 005B6814 | Brainwashed already, huh? That's a shame. I was hoping you had a little more sense than the rest of them. |
|
| 115 | 005B67F4 | 005B6821 | There's no blood spilled in the war room. This is where we plan our battles, not enact them. |
|
| 116 | The Brotherhood should know that we're not a bunch of mindless killers. So if they want to send someone here to talk, they can. | |||
| 117 | Not that anything will come of it. | |||
| 118 | 005B67F6 | 005B6817 | That so? I won't question your change of heart. Everyone has their reasons. But we need to know you're committed. |
|
| 119 | If you mean it, talk to Sheena. She'll decide whether or not you're worth the risk. | |||
| 120 | 005B67F8 | 005B6810 | Nothing right now, but you should check back tomorrow. Those tin tyrants never run of fuel. |
|
| 121 | 005B67FA | 005B681A | Too political for you? Don't worry. In the end it just amounts to fighting. |
|
| 122 | 005B67FC | 005B6811 | I'll be here until the Brotherhood isn't. |
|
| 123 | 005B6807 | 005B681D | We're here to ensure that there remains a place for Crater in Appalachia. |
|
| 124 | The more people come here, the more they'll want to take their own space, set their own rules. And then force those rules on others. | |||
| 125 | Crater is our home. Our freedom. Our future. I won't allow anyone to take that away. | |||
| 126 | 005B6808 | 005B6812 | Run? Look, I'm not some kind of CEO or general. This is a family. Everyone does their part. |
|
| 127 | Mine is the talking. Letting people know what we're doing all this for, how important it is. | |||
| 128 | I may have started this effort, but it's the War Party who moves it forward. And if you're not a part of it, I'd caution you to stay out of it's way. | |||
| 129 | 005B6809 | 005B686A | Only good things. What do you want to know? |
|
| 130 | 005B686B | And help you with enemy reconnaissance? I don't think so. |
||
| 131 | Talk to me again when you're on our side. | |||
| 132 | 005B680A | 005B681F | The Brotherhood thinks of itself as our saviors. They'll take what they believe is righteous. And when we refuse to give it, they'll strike us down. |
|
| 133 | It starts small. Food and supplies. A home base. They offer protection in return. And hope. Hope is powerful enough to make you blind. | |||
| 134 | So when they start asking for more - when they start setting rules, occupying homes, taking lives... Then it's too late. We can't let it get that far. | |||
| 135 | 005B680B | 005B6815 | Besides the obvious Scorched and mutant life? Foundation, maybe. But it will be a long time before they start asking for more. |
|
| 136 | They're like us, in some ways. Just looking for a home. But don't tell Meg I said that. | |||
| 137 | 005B680C | 005B681E | That they are. But that's why we're here. |
|
| 138 | 005B680D | 005B6813 | Order, or tyranny? I'm not interested in either. |
|
| 139 | 005B680E | 005B6820 | I'm responding to a threat. You can ignore the threat all you want, but that doesn't make it go away. |
|
| 140 | 005B680F | 005B6816 | Then sit back and watch. See what it gets you when things suddenly go up in flames. At least I'll have my fire suit on. |
|
| 181 | 005EF296 | 005B6823 | Don't let the skeletons in the cages scare you. We're perfectly capable of making it quick. |
|
| 182 | 005B6824 | We don't take kindly to idle visits. So tell me, is that what this is? |
||
| 183 | 005B6825 | Do you have business, or are you just sightseeing? |
||
| 184 | 005B6826 | Our business is taking down the Brotherhood. You wanna make it yours? |
||
| 185 | 005B6827 | Pretty brave of you to go freely touring the Crater like this. |
||
| 213 | 00605A43 | 00605A45 | Marcia made her choice. But she's a victim of the Brotherhood, and not where our conflict lies. |
|
| 214 | So long as she doesn't take up arms against us, we'll do what we can to make sure Marcia doesn't end up in the crossfire. | |||
| 215 | 00605A44 | 00605A46 | Marcia is an invaluable member of our family. She has a different... perspective on the Brotherhood since she has history there. |
|
| 216 | On a more personal note, I think she has an admirable amount of strength. She fits right in. | |||
| 217 | Even Sheena has warmed up to her, and that in itself speaks volumes. |

| 3 | 005D2B00 | 005D2B26 | So you really came. To be honest, I didn't expect the Brotherhood to show its face around here with anything less than a fully armored battalion. |
|
| 4 | Life is just full of surprises, isn't it? | |||
| 5 | So what can I do for you, o' honorable emissary of steel? | |||
| 10 | 005D79CA | Looks like things didn't turn out so well for me. Get it over with, then. |
||
| 13 | 005DBD7A | You ready to talk now? |
||
| 14 | 005DBD7C | You gonna kill me or what? I didn't think the Brotherhood liked to play with their food. |
||
| 27 | 005D2B0A | 005D2B17 | Well, well. Looks like we have a visitor. Did the Brotherhood send you? |
|
| 30 | 005D2B0C | 005D2B18 | You know, I'm interested in hearing more about this "protection of mankind" business. |
|
| 31 | I suppose killing a few no-good Raiders is an easy price to pay for the benefit this measly little vault will provide for us as a species, is that it? | |||
| 32 | 005D2B12 | 005D2B20 | This is your top priority. The longer we let these weapons spread, the more difficult it will be to track down all of them. | |
| 33 | 005D2B13 | 005D2B1A | About that... |
|
| 44 | 005D79BC | 005D79C2 | I have nothing left to discuss. I've given you my answer, "Initiate". Now for your sake, I'd suggest you don't stick around. |
|
| 52 | 005DB138 | 005DBD76 | Not looking to negotiate? Well I won't sit back and wait for the Brotherhood to fire first. |
Angry, opening fire |
| 101 | 005DB180 | 005DB1E8 | We've been over this. There's no compromising with people like the Brotherhood. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. |
|
| 102 | 005DB181 | 005DB21E | You and your metal buddies put me in a pretty tight spot back there. |
|
| 103 | There are people here in Crater depending on me, and I wasn't sure if I was going to make it back to them. So I prioritized a little bit. | |||
| 104 | And getting home to those people was more important than being completely sincere to a group of heavily armed tyrants. | |||
| 105 | So if you're looking for help with your little weapon problem, you can look somewhere else. | |||
| 106 | 005DB182 | 005DB1F0 | Brilliant! Let me just pop open a bottle of Nukashine and we'll kick back, exchange stories, tearfully share all the details of our tragic pasts... |
|
| 107 | But I suppose yours goes something like this. You were a wayward soul, lost, looking for purpose... | |||
| 108 | Then the Brotherhood of Steel came along and put a badge of honor on your chest. Made you feel like you really mattered. | |||
| 109 | So now, you'll do anything for them. Like risking your life to come to Crater and ask about those weapons you confiscated. | |||
| 110 | Well here's my backstory. The Brotherhood of Steel pointed their guns at my face and stole my property. | |||
| 111 | So that property is their problem now. I'm not telling you a damn thing. | |||
| 112 | 005DB184 | 005DB22A | Oh, right! The weapons... After they got forcibly confiscated from us, I almost forgot about them. See, the thing is... |
He's being petty |
| 137 | 005DB195 | 005DB1DD | Thanks for the tip. I'll add it to my compendium. |
|
| 139 | 005DB197 | 005DB1E7 | You wound me, Knight! In the heart, that is. Since I've surrendered, and you can't touch me anymore. |
|
| 142 | 005DB199 | 005DB1EF | They call you "Knight", don't they? Didn't know that was another word for "lapdog". |
|
| 145 | 005DB19B | 005DB1FA | Hold on, let me get this straight. You barged in here looking to reclaim "your property", only to tell me you don't know where it came from? |
|
| 146 | This is almost too good to make up. I knew my feeling about the Brotherhood was right, but you just keep on confirming it. | |||
| 147 | Here's the thing. I don't talk about Raider affairs on "Brotherhood territory". That's what this is now, right? | |||
| 148 | If you really want to know, you can let me go and come talk to me in Crater. | |||
| 149 | I deal with reasonable individuals, not an entourage of fascists with their guns pointed at my face. | |||
| 153 | 005DB1A5 | 005DB236 | Big words for someone who just barged in and claimed ownership of our storeroom. |
|
| 154 | I suppose you don't have to follow the rules you apply to everyone else, is that it? Because you have a righteous cause? | |||
| 155 | That's fine. This story only adds fuel to our fire. | |||
| 156 | 005DB1A7 | 005DB202 | How about you? Do you seriously take orders from this constipated suit of metal? |
|
| 159 | 005DB1A9 | 005DB20B | This place doesn't offer us any strategic leverage over the Brotherhood. |
|
| 160 | If anything, you're going to waste more resources protecting a place so far away from your home base. | |||
| 161 | So then, it must be the weapons that are important to you. | |||
| 162 | What's so special about these rocket launchers, that a top ranking member would come to collect them himself? | |||
| 163 | 005DB1AA | 005DB1E2 | So be it. You've made it clear the Brotherhood only provides two options: blind obedience, or violence. You take a wild guess which we would prefer. |
|
| 165 | 005DB1AC | 005DB1EB | Agh... Alright, I'll admit, this is a serious oversight on my part. |
|
| 166 | Should have known those Initiates who stopped by would have gone crying to their superiors. | |||
| 167 | Humor me on one thing. | |||
| 169 | 005DB1AE | 005DB231 | Oh, so that was you? Meg's mentioned your name here and there. Don't worry, only good things. |
|
| 170 | She placed a lot of trust in you back then, and it seems to have paid off. | |||
| 171 | Hmm... Alright, then. I don't know what's possessed you to put your lot in with the Brotherhood of Steel, but I'm sure there's more to that story. | |||
| 172 | Just don't expect to use the same excuse more than once. And humor me on one thing. | |||
| 173 | 005DB232 | Oh, so you were the one who broke Meg's trust and left us high and dry when the gold came to the table? |
||
| 174 | You screwed us then, and you're screwing us now. It's no surprise you've put your lot in with the Brotherhood. | |||
| 175 | You owe us. Not the other way around. So pay up and run back to your little fort. | |||
| 179 | 005DB1B4 | 005DB1E0 | And who's to say we don't have that whole platform you're standing on rigged to blow? |
|
| 180 | 005DB1B6 | 005D2B19 | You... do have a point. |
|
| 182 | 005DB1BA | 005DB1E9 | Resorting to name-calling already. I have to say, I'm disappointed. |
|
| 183 | Thought I'd be able to speak to someone civilized from a big shot organization like yours. | |||
| 185 | 005DB1BC | 005DB21A | Can't argue with that. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly curious about all the heavily armored personnel who just showed up behind you. |
"slightly curious" - he's bluffing. this is pretty alarming |
| 186 | 005DB1BE | 005DB1EE | Just taking a nice stroll around the Toxic Valley and stumbled upon a mysterious door, yeah? I can respect an adventurous spirit. |
|
| 187 | What I can't respect is the full entourage of Brotherhood soldiers who just showed up behind you. | |||
| 188 | 005DB1C0 | 005DB226 | That so? You got a deed to go with that claim? Because, uh, we're not gonna sign it. |
|
| 189 | 005DB1C2 | 005DB1F8 | It's wrong of me to judge by appearances, though. Why don't you introduce yourself? |
|
| 190 | 005DB1C3 | 005DB237 | I gotta say, you're doing a good job representing them, dressed up in all that clunky armor. |
|
| 191 | 005DB238 | Or are you going vault-hopping? Can't imagine it's easy getting used to the Wasteland after eating from silver spoons underground all those years. |
||
| 192 | 005DB239 | Didn't know they were working with run-of-the-mill average Wastelanders. Thought they wanted you strapped into one of those tin cans 'round the clock. |
tin cans = Power Armor | |
| 203 | 005DBD5F | 005DBD6E | I won't rely on a betrayal to take them down. You should know that. |
|
| 206 | 005DBD62 | 005DBD6F | What about you, forward scout? Think we can work this one out? Or are your underpants in as tight of a bunch as Mr. Compliance over there? |
|
| 207 | 005DBD67 | 005DBD6C | Terrorize? We're out here trying to survive, just like anyone else. |
|
| 208 | Meanwhile, the Brotherhood is marching around in Power Armor, threatening people who don't meet its demands. You tell me who's the real terror. | |||
| 209 | 005DBD69 | 005DBD75 | So you don't want to tell me. Fair enough. I'll find out through other means. |
|
| 210 | Either way, they're not of much use to us. Rocket launchers aren't practical in a typical firefight. | |||
| 225 | 005E558C | 005E5590 | You don't give your subordinates enough credit. In any case, I got the answer I wanted. |
|
| 227 | 005E558E | 005E5593 | Finally, some honesty. |
|
| 229 | 005E559C | 005E55A2 | I won't let them. Do we have their patrol routes yet? A couple ambushes ought to take 'em down a notch. |
|
| 231 | 005E559E | 005E55A1 | Can't believe they had the nerve to just barge in like that. That Knight acts like some kind of righteous savior. |
|
| 232 | 005EF228 | 005DB20F | The rookie should know the way. Send them. |
|
| 233 | Oh, and Mr. Knight? Learn to relax your face muscles a little. | |||
| 234 | 005DB210 | Don't worry, if it's only one of you, we don't usually kill-on-sight. |
||
| 235 | Now let us through. | |||
| 236 | 005EF229 | 005DB21B | Sorry, I don't discuss Raider affairs on "Brotherhood territory". If you really want to know, you can come talk to me in Crater. |
|
| 238 | 005EF22B | 005DB1F7 | We're heading back to Crater. This stash isn't worth it. |

| 12 | 005F59C3 | 00601D71 | Couldn't stay away, could you? I'm not often taken by surprise, but I'll admit, you threw me for a loop when I found out what you did for Sheena. |
|
| 13 | Didn't think an uptight organization like the Brotherhood had any room for rats. Don't worry, it's a term of endearment. | |||
| 14 | 00601D72 | You have some nerve showing up here after you sold us out. |
||
| 15 | I'll let Marcia speak for herself, but I'm pretty sure she's not interested in going back. | |||
| 37 | 005F5D9E | 005F5DA9 | I know you're eager to help, but Sheena and Burke are the best there is. Anything that gives them trouble is going to be extremely dangerous. |
|
| 56 | 00601CCA | 00601D6B | We're a family here. Sheena's as clever as they come, but I know her too well to let something like that live under the radar forever. |
|
| 72 | 00601CCC | 00601D46 | Just like the Brotherhood to come in here and start making demands. |
|
| 73 | Ever think that this is exactly the kind of behavior that made Marcia leave in the first place? | |||
| 75 | 00601CCE | 00601D5D | Bring my people back alive and in one piece. |
|
| 76 | 00601CCF | 00601D49 | You being willing to put your life on the line for us is indication enough that you belong in this family. |
|
| 79 | 00601CD1 | 00601D63 | I feel better having one of us there instead of blindly trusting the Brotherhood. Make sure someone is focused on saving Sheena and Burke. |
|
| 80 | 00601CD2 | 00601D4E | We don't spill blood in the War Room. But if you lay a hand on her, I'll break that rule in a heartbeat. |
|
| 86 | 00601CD9 | 00601D3E | Nice try. As much as it kills me, I'm not stupid enough to leave things unsupervised when two of us are already missing. |
|
| 90 | 00601CE0 | 00601D4C | I value their lives as much as my own. |
|
| 91 | I can't trust...I can't put their lives in the hands of the Brotherhood. That makes them as good as dead. | |||
| 93 | 00601CE2 | 00601D65 | You have done enough "helping" already. You had your chance and you blew it. |
|
| 94 | 00601CE4 | 00601D50 | Ah, so gracious, too! How did we ever get so lucky to have such benevolent overlords? |
|
| 95 | 00601CE6 | 00601D3C | Well, it wasn't my plan for you to know about this, but now that you do, I guess there's no way around it. |
|
| 96 | Marcia's not going back with you. She's going after Sheena and Burke. | |||
| 97 | She's been bossed around by the Brotherhood enough in her life. Why don't you do something for her for a change, and help out? | |||
| 98 | 00601CE7 | 00601D69 | Marcia, dammit. |
|
| 100 | 00601CE9 | 00601D40 | She did make one mistake, thinking a bootlicker like you had any chance of actually helping us. |
|
| 101 | 00601CEA | 00601D6F | Don't think it means you're one of us now. It takes more than one mutually beneficial trade to build trust. |
|
| 102 | 00601CEB | 00601D58 | I think that's for the best. |
|
| 103 | 00601CED | 00601D45 | Have it your way. |
|
| 104 | 00601CEF | 00601D30 | I don't place bets on the lives of my family. |
|
| 107 | 00601CF7 | 00601D4D | I'm glad you asked! It just so happens we're planning a dinner party. The Brotherhood will be our distinguished guests. |
|
| 108 | We'd like to deliver a special thank you for showing up in Appalachia without even needing an invitation, and laying down the law in this filthy, treacherous Wasteland. | |||
| 109 | 00601CF9 | 00601D39 | Help out once, and you think you're part of the team, huh? I'm afraid loyalty doesn't come that cheap. |
|
| 110 | 00601CFB | 00601D66 | Astute observation, detective. Doesn't make it any of your business. |
|
| 111 | 00601CFD | 00601D51 | Hell no, I'm not. How about you don't waste everyone's time and just leave? |
