{100}{}{You see a tough-looking old mutant.} {101}{}{You see Zaius, the mine foreman.} {102}{}{On closer examination, you see a tough old mutant with a pickaxe and miner�s helmet.} {103}{}{You the new guy in town?} {104}{}{Eek, oog og!} {105}{}{New! Me! Town!} {106}{}{That�s right.} {107}{}{Yeah, rolled in a little while back.} {108}{}{No, genius, I�ve been living here all along and you never noticed me.} {109}{}{Heard you�re having a little trouble with the mine.} {110}{}{What can you tell me about this place?} {111}{}{Ummm� riiiight. Tell you what. Here�s a couple of dollars. Head on down to the saloon and get yourself something to drink.} {112}{}{Yagga? Ogg? Gronk!} {113}{}{Can�t understand you, pal. Why not head on down to the saloon? Hell, maybe Francis will arm-wrestle with you.} {114}{}{Wessle? O-KAY!} {115}{}{Right. Well, I�m Zaius. Now that we�re introduced� You any good with your hands? We�ve got a problem with our air purifier on the lower level of the mine, but we haven�t got the parts to fix it  or the protective gear to avoid being overwhelmed by the radon gas that's been building up.} {116}{}{I�m not too good. Sorry.} {117}{}{Not too shabby. What�ll it take?} {118}{}{Well, I�ll hope that you enjoy your stay here in Broken Hills.} {119}{}{(more)} {120}{}{Ha. Ha. Funny. Nothing better than a smart guy to solve a problem.} {121}{}{Smarter than anyone else in this shithole town.} {122}{}{Oh? There�s a problem? What is it?} {123}{}{The main problem here is that you�re an idiot.} {124}{}{That�s me. Smart guy. What�s your problem?} {125}{}{Our air purifier�s broken. It�s on the bottom level. We�ve got no parts, and we�ve got no protective equipment. Without the parts, we can�t fix it. Without the protection, the radon gas�ll nail us. Are you any good with your hands?} {126}{}{I�m all right.} {127}{}{No. Not really.} {128}{}{You again, eh?} {129}{}{Ork! Ooo! Ug ug!} {130}{}{Hi! HIIIII! Me (name)!} {131}{}{Pal, I already gave you some money. Go bother someone else, eh?} {132}{}{Hi again. Why not go check out� umm� the bank in town? I�m sure there are plenty people there who�d love to talk to you.} {133}{}{Well, if you ever happen to think of a way, let me know.} {134}{}{Really? Would you do it for me� and, more importantly, for Broken Hills?} {135}{}{What�s in it for me?} {136}{}{Sure, I�ll do it.} {137}{}{Not right now.} {138}{}{Izzat so? Well, my brainy friend, why not fix the air purifier down below? You�ll need the parts, and you�ll need to find a way to breathe the gas. Until you can show me you can do that, I think I�ll just assume the only thing smart about you is your mouth.} {139}{}{What�s in it for me?} {140}{}{Sure, I�ll do it.} {141}{}{Are you kidding?} {142}{}{The main problem is that I�m an idiot. I�m repeating this because I don�t believe that your asshole just spouted something that sounded like words. Get out of my sight, maggot.} {143}{}{Aside from the jerks who keep harassing me, the problem is the air purifier in the mine. It�s busted, and we don�t have the protective gear to breathe the radon and we don�t have the parts to fix it. You can, though, right? Because you�re so smart?} {144}{}{What�s in it for me?} {145}{}{Sure, I�ll do it.} {146}{}{Are you kidding? No way.} {147}{}{. How's that sound?} {148}{}{Like shit. I want more.} {149}{}{Sounds good to me.} {150}{}{Forget it. I�m out.} {151}{}{Great! You�ll need the parts, of course. Go to New Reno and look for Renesco. He�s got tools lying around the shop. Tell him Zaius sent you. Tell him that I said, "The canary�s kicked the bucket." I don�t know where to get protective equipment for the gas. I suppose you could go in without any but you'll be hurting. Again, thank you.} {152}{}{No problem. Bye.} {153}{}{No? Well, if you should change your mind, you know where to find me.} {154}{}{Sure thing. Bye.} {155}{}{ it is, then. Take half now. I�ll give you the other half when you�re done. Go to New Reno and look for Renesco. He�s got tools just lying around his office. He should be able to help you with the parts.} {156}{}{See ya.} {157}{}{Sorry. That�s the limit. Take it or leave it.} {158}{}{I�ll take it.} {159}{}{I�ll leave it.} {160}{}{Fine. Leave it, then. No thanks.} {161}{}{Whatever.} {162}{}{Hi, friend! } {163}{}{Oh, good. It�s you again. } {164}{}{Howdy.} {165}{}{Y�know, I knew those bastards Franc, Manson, Jacob, and Aileen had it out for us. Well done! So�} {166}{}{I hope you�ve given some thought to giving the ore back to the town� so�} {167}{}{Thanks for selling the ore. It�s not like we couldn�t use it or anything. So�} {168}{}{Thanks so much for returning that ore. You don�t know how hard we work for that stuff.} {169}{}{What do you want now?} {170}{}{Can you tell me about the town?} {171}{}{I hear you�re having trouble with the mine.} {172}{}{How�re things?} {173}{}{You get along all right with the humans?} {174}{}{You changed your mind about trying to fix the mine yet?} {175}{}{What�s in it for me?} {176}{}{Sure, I�ll do it.} {177}{}{Not right now.} {178}{}{No.} {179}{}{How�s it coming? I hope you�re going to take care of this soon�} {180}{}{It�s coming along all right.} {181}{}{I�m a busy man. I haven�t gotten around to it yet.} {182}{}{I should be able to let you know soon.} {183}{}{You�ve got the parts? Great� I hope you�ve got some protective gear. The fumes can take you down.} {184}{}{I�m ready to go.} {185}{}{I�ll be going soon.} {186}{}{You�ve got the parts? Great� I hope you�ve got some protective gear. The fumes can take you down.} {187}{}{I�m ready to go.} {188}{}{I�ll be going soon.} {189}{}{You�ve fixed it? Excellent! Say, I know you were doing this for free, but� I couldn�t let you do that. So me and the guys got together and got you this. It�s a combat shotgun. Good luck. And thank you.} {190}{}{No problem. Thanks!} {191}{}{You�ve fixed it? Excellent! As agreed, here�s the remainder of what we owe you. Thank you again.} {192}{}{You bastard. You�re going to die now.} {193}{}{Good, good. Please hurry, though� our town needs what we get out of here.} {194}{}{Sure thing. See ya.} {195}{}{Don�t rush me. I�m a busy man. Jerk.} {196}{}{Well, I�m sorry, Mr. High and Mighty, but I think that the town�s survival might be a little more important. Hurry it up, will you?} {197}{}{Bite me. I�ll get it done. See ya.} {198}{}{That�s the last straw. Goodbye, dead man.} {199}{}{Please hurry. The mine is our town�s lifeblood.} {200}{}{All right, all right.} {201}{}{Well, the best person to talk to about that would be Marcus, over at the bank, or Steve, the greeter for the town.} {202}{}{Hmm. All right, thanks.} {203}{}{I�ll go ask them, then.} {204}{}{I�d have to say they�re all right. Still� they could always be better.} {205}{}{Heh. Thanks for all the information.} {206}{}{Well, as the mutants are not only getting old and senile -� the gas keeps them young, or something -� I�d have to say things are pretty good. I mean, we don�t want to kill everyone, and as far as I can tell, the humans don�t think too poorly of us. �Course, that�s not including the humans from the other places around here� now those are some bastards.} {207}{}{All right, thanks. Bye.} {300}{}{. How's that sound?} {301}{}{. How's that sound?} {302}{}{$} {381}{}{I�m a busy woman. I haven�t gotten around to it yet.} {382}{}{Don�t rush me. I�m a busy woman. Jerk.} {383}{}{Well, I�m sorry, Mrs. High and Mighty, but I think that the town�s survival might be a little more important. Hurry it up, will you?} {400}{}{I've got a note with your name on it. Found it on a dead woman in the tunnels. Would you care to comment?} {401}{}{Hey, I just received the note. Go talk to Francis about it, all right? He's the one who wrote it.} {402}{}{If you had a hand in killing those people, I want to know about it.} {403}{}{All right. See ya.} {404}{}{No! We're just protecting ourselves from the conspiracy. Marcus believes in law and evidence, and even though he knows these people are dangerous, he doesn't know who they are- and he's too honorable to plant evidence. My part is keeping Francis restrained from all-out revenge.} {405}{}{Sounds too tidy. I'm going to check this out with Francis.} {406}{}{I knew Francis couldn't handle exposure. He knew the risks of what he did, but I guess he didn't figure on ever being caught. He'll be all right eventually. I hope the same will be true of Broken Hills.} {407}{}{I hope so too. I have some questions.} {408}{}{Me too. Bye.}
