Happy 50
|
Good job. I need to work out some last minute details with our new clients, but after that we'll head back to the Rush.

No time to talk. We have to finish these bastards off!

|
| GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Good, you're here. Do you remember that package I had you deliver? Well, the client liked the sample and put in a massive order.
|
3
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's possibly the biggest order we've ever supplied. I've had to repeatedly assure my mother that everything will go smoothly.
|
4
|
| Neutral 50
|
And that's where I'm hoping you'll come in. We'll be bringing an escort, and I want you on it. What do you say?
|

Simon's been telling me how it went. Let's do a quick recap.

Welcome back. Did you have news for me, or are you just here for the guns?
|

Welcome back. I hope you've been working on that task Jean-Baptiste had for you. My brother is not a patient man by any means.

Welcome to the Silver Rush, where only top of the line energy weapons can be found. What can I do for you?

They're taking an awfully long time inspecting the weapons. I'm beginning to think they're doing it just to unnerve us.
|
13
|
| Neutral 50
|
Don't let them rattle you, though. The deal's almost done. There's just one last piece of business left.
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
Speaking of which, I need you to listen to me very carefully. Things are about to get a little crazy. When I give the signal, follow my lead, okay?
|

|
| VFreeformFreesideVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic000

I'd like to see what you have for sale.

Of course.

|
I was wondering if you had any work available.
|
Neutral 50
|
It just so happens a position opened up recently. It's not much, but it'll be a good way for me to gauge your potential for future assignments.
|
18
|
| I was wondering if you had any work available.
|
Anger 80
|
It just so happens a position opened up recently. We currently need another body to guard the entrance outside. Think you can handle that?
|
19
|
| Is that guard position still available?
|
Neutral 50
|
Ran out of caps, eh? The job's still available, if you're interested.
|
20
|
| Still need that sample delivered?
|
Neutral 50
|
You're in luck. We've interviewed a few people for the courier position, but they all seem so... untrustworthy. Ready to make some money?
|
21
|
| I delivered the package as requested.
|
Neutral 50
|
And? Don't leave me in suspense. What was their reaction?
|
22
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic001
|
Sure. Count me in.
|
Neutral 50
|
Wonderful. I already have a man outside who can show you the ropes and get you set up. His name is Simon.
|
23
|
| Neutral 50
|
He's been with the family for years, so listen to what he says, and follow his instructions.
|
24
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic002
|
Sorry, I have better things to do.
|
Neutral 50
|
Suit yourself. Was there anything else you wanted?
|
25
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic003
|
Mind if I ask you some questions?
|
Neutral 50
|
Not at all.
|
26
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic004
|
So is this a family business?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes it is. My brother and I run this particular branch, but our family has operations all over, particularly in California.
|
27
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic006
|
This seems like a bad neighborhood to open a store.
|
Neutral 50
|
Look around, and you'll notice two things.
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
First, we don't lack for security. I'm not worried about anyone breaking in here or stealing our goods.
|
29
|
| Neutral 50
|
Not that we don't occasionally have attempts, but even those prove useful. Do you know how much target dummies cost?
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
Back to my point, the second thing you'll notice is that we do not sell cheap merchandise. Everything here is second-to-none.
|
31
|
| Neutral 50
|
People who buy Van Graff goods typically don't care where they have to go to get them.
|
32
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic007
|
Tell me about Freeside.
|
Neutral 50
|
This place is certainly lively, that's for sure. Did you want to know something specific about it?
|
33
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic008
|
Tell me about yourself.
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, there's not much to tell. I was born into a big family and don't get along with my parents, so here I am. As far away from them as possible.
|
34
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic009
|
{ Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
Unfortunately, I found someone else with a little more experience, and he'll take over the position starting tomorrow.
|
35
|
| { Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
However, another task has come up that I could use some help with, assuming you're still interested in making some money?
|
36
|
| { Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
You basically let every jackass off the street march in here. That doesn't say much for your judgement.
|
37
|
| { Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
Still, you did manage to prevent that psychopath from blowing this place up. That deserves some reward, at least.
|
38
|
| { Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
Then you robbed me of my revenge on that prancing asshole of a King. For that alone, I should kill you.
|
39
|
| { Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
You kept away the undesirables, patted down the rest for weapons, and kept your cool.
|
40
|
| Neutral 50
|
That is to say, you performed as instructed. Simon was impressed, and so am I. So you get a small bonus with your normal pay.
|
41
|
| { Node for guard result infos }
|
Neutral 50
|
You had a little bit of a hard time following instructions, but didn't do too bad overall. Here's your pay.
|
42
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic010
|
Always.
|
Neutral 50
|
There's a deal that we've been working on for a while now and the buyer would like a sample of our weapons.
|
43
|
| Neutral 50
|
I need you to run a package out to a discrete location that the client has chosen. Sound good?
|
44
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic011
|
Maybe another time.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, look who doesn't need my money any more. When you find your pockets a little lighter, stop back.
|
45
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's a courier job, so it should be easy caps.
|
46
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic013
|
I'll do it.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good, here's the package. I'll mark the location on your map. The buyer said they'd be in town for quite a while so there's no rush.
|
47
|
| Neutral 50
|
That said, try not to dawdle. This client could mean big money for us, which naturally means big money for you.
|
48
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic014
|
I'm not a delivery boy. Not interested.
|
Neutral 50
|
Very well. Let me know if you change your mind. The buyer said they'd be in town for quite a while, so there's no rush.
|
49
|
| Neutral 50
|
My men have their hands full with our other operations, so unless I can find another courier, the job will still be available.
|
50
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic015
|
He said you'd hear from them soon.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good... good. Here's your payment. If you'll excuse me, I have some thinking to do.
|
51
|
| He said you'd hear from them soon.
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, Jean-Baptiste was talking about a matter earlier that he needs help with. I volunteered you. See him for the details.
|
52
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic016
|
What do you know about this client?
|
Neutral 50
|
It's better if you don't ask. Now I believe I asked you a question. What was their reaction?
|
53
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic018
|
Count me in.
|
Neutral 50
|
Perfect. We're still getting everything together, but I can always find a use for idle hands in the meantime.
|
54
|
| Neutral 50
|
Once we're settled, we'll head out to the rendezvous point.
|
55
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic019
|
I can't right now.
|
Neutral 50
|
That's okay, I still need some time to get everything together. The logistics of an order like this are headache inducing.
|
56
|
| Neutral 50
|
We won't need to head out for a while yet, so stop back when you have the time.
|
57
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic021
|
Wait, what?
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't have time to explain now. Just do as you're told and we'll all be rich.
|
58
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic022
|
Got it.
|
Happy 60
|
That's what I like about you. You follow orders, for the most part. Just remember to wait for the signal.
|
59
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic023
|
Is anything wrong?
|
Neutral 50
|
Not if we don't screw this up. I'm counting on you to do your part. Just wait for the signal. You'll know what to do.
|
60
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic024
|
Just thought I'd stop in and say hello.
|
Neutral 50
|
You're welcome here any time.
|
61
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic025
|
For starters, what in the hell just happened?
|
Neutral 50
|
We made a lot of money, that's what. The Legion paid us to deliver weapons, and the NCR paid us to deliver the Legion. Or some of them, anyway.
|
62
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic026
|
I thought you hated the NCR?
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, I do. They're a bunch of corrupt, bullying fools who think they can tell everyone how to live their lives, and my family's fought them for years.
|
63
|
| Neutral 50
|
But that's just it. Do you know how large the NCR army is? If they wanted to, they could have beaten us a dozen times over.
|
64
|
| Neutral 50
|
Do you know why they haven't? Money. Every time things have gotten too tense, we've paid them off and laid low for a while.
|
65
|
| Neutral 50
|
They're an enemy we can live with. This Caesar, on the other hand, is a different animal.
|
66
|
| Neutral 50
|
We've heard reports for years from our agents to the east. He doesn't tolerate his enemies, he makes examples of them.
|
67
|
| Neutral 50
|
And he doesn't have friends. Only servants. And the Van Graffs serve no one but themselves.
|
68
|
| Neutral 50
|
Given that, the choice was rather simple.
|
69
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic027
|
Just start at the beginning.
|
Neutral 50
|
Caesar has been making overtures to prominent suppliers for some time now. Usually, they're too scared of him to cross him and just pay or flee.
|
70
|
| Neutral 50
|
I saw an opportunity and negotiated a deal with the NCR - I help draw some of their enemy's troops into a trap and they agree to buy from me.
|
71
|
| Neutral 50
|
Normally, those stuck-up bastards wouldn't have anything to do with us, but their situation is precarious, and this chance was too tempting.
|
72
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic028
|
So now the Van Graffs are allied with the NCR?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well... not exactly. The deal wasn't exactly sanctioned by my mother, but she'll come around when she hears about the profit I made.
|
73
|
| Neutral 50
|
If she's smart, and she is, believe me, she'll turn this to her own advantage and make a bundle off our new "connections" in the NCR.
|
74
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic029
|
Wouldn't you have made just as much money dealing with the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
Hardly. They've got a lot of soldiers, and slaves. But they don't come close to having the amount of wealth the NCR has.
|
75
|
| Neutral 50
|
When I said we were going to be rich, I meant it. The deal I brokered with the NCR netted me fives times what Caesar paid.
|
76
|
| Neutral 50
|
Keeping Caesar's money was just a bonus.
|
77
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic030
|
What will you do now?
|
Neutral 50
|
It'll be all I can do to supply the NCR with the amount of weapons they want, so I'll be pretty busy for the foreseeable future.
|
78
|
| Neutral 50
|
Oh, you're probably wondering if you still have a job! I don't have anything open at the moment, sadly.
|
79
|
| Neutral 50
|
But we're going to need all the help we can get transporting guns to the NCR, so stop by every now and then and I might have a delivery job for you.
|
80
|
| Neutral 50
|
And before I forget, here's your share of the take from the warehouse job. You can keep the armor. Thanks again for all your help.
|
81
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic031
|
Tell me about the Kings.
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, the "rulers" of Freeside. The Kings are a bunch of boys who refuse to grow up, and this is their playground.
|
82
|
| Neutral 50
|
Their leader seems different, though. The few times I've dealt with him I've been impressed despite myself.
|
83
|
| Neutral 50
|
Unfortunately, he rarely acts. The Kings believe that everyone in Freeside can do whatever they want, provided they can back it up with force.
|
84
|
| Neutral 50
|
Which suits us just fine. When we first arrived in Freeside, the Kings protested when we kicked out the original occupant of this establishment.
|
85
|
| Neutral 50
|
When we reduced several of their members to glowing puddles of goo, their objections vanished. Since then, we've left each other alone.
|
86
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic032
|
Tell me about the Followers.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't really have much to do with them. They seem to have an aversion to weapons technology, and those who possess a great deal of it.
|
87
|
| Neutral 50
|
Their loss, really.
|
88
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic033
|
What is there to do here?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, you probably noticed the Atomic Wrangler across the street. That's pretty much the place to go around here.
|
89
|
| Neutral 50
|
They make it a little loud around here at night, but the business their proximity brings more than makes up for it.
|
90
|
| Neutral 50
|
Other than them, you're better off skipping Freeside entirely and just heading to the Strip.
|
91
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic034
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Suits me. What did you have in mind?
|
92
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic035
|
There's a rumor that there's a feud between your family and Pacer. What's that about?
|
Neutral 50
|
It's just a rumor. Even so, I trust you will refrain from bringing up this subject again.
|
93
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic036
|
What do you think of the NCR?
|
Neutral 50
|
You must not know a lot about my family or you wouldn't have asked that. The Van Graffs and the NCR have been enemies for decades.
|
94
|
| Neutral 50
|
They've tried to block our expansion for years, but we've managed to grow regardless. The problem is they have, too.
|
95
|
| Neutral 50
|
The NCR is huge, now. We're talking on a scale that's difficult to imagine. Time was, we could fight them and hold our own. Not so anymore.
|
96
|
| Neutral 50
|
My family has enough men and guns to field a small army, but the NCR can field a really, really big army. Fighting them is out of the question now.
|
97
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic037
|
What do you think of the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
I've only heard rumors, since this is the furthest east our operations go. But the rumors are pretty scary.
|
98
|
| Neutral 50
|
They're said to be a huge slaver nation, with all the soldiers obeying their lord with unquestioning obedience.
|
99
|
| Neutral 50
|
Sounds like a man I'd like to meet.
|
100
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic038
|
What do you know of Mr. House?
|
Neutral 50
|
Very little, same as everyone else. We attempted to deal with him when we first moved into the area, but had no luck.
|
101
|
| Neutral 50
|
He must have his own weapons supplies to keep as many laser-armed robots operational as he does. Makes me wonder where they are...
|
102
|
| VMS29aVFSGloriaVanGraffTopic039
|
What do you think of the Gun Runners?
|
Neutral 50
|
They're our chief competitors in this region, and many others. That makes them our enemies.
|
103
|
| Neutral 50
|
While I respect their business acumen, I'm obligated to try to destroy them however I can. That's business, after all.
|
104
