{100}{You see a burly old mutant.} {101}{You see Marcus the Mutant, sheriff of Broken Hills.} {102}{You see a burly old mutant with a weary cast to his face. He still looks vigorous and tough.} {103} {mcs1a} {Well, what the hell. I haven’t seen one of those outfits for a long, long time. Takes me back.} {104} {mcs1b} {What do you want, human?} {105} {mcs1c} {Something else you wanted?} {106}{Uggie.} {107}{Who are you?} {108}{What’s the story with this place?} {109}{Why aren’t you mutants attacking me?} {110}{What’s the news?} {111}{I have something I wanted to tell you.} {112}{You wanna travel with me?} {113}{Bye.} {114} {mcs3} {Yeah, I’m a ugly mutant. I also run this place. You got a problem with that?} {115}{Uh!} {116}{Nuh.} {117} {mcs4} {You wanna fight me?} {118}{Uh!} {119}{Nuh.} {120} {mcs5} {Take your best shot, human.} {121} {mcs6a} {Good.} {122} {mcs6b} {Keep your nose clean and you won’t get into trouble.} {123}{Uh?} {124} {mcs7} {I’m Marcus. Helped build the place. Now I’m sheriff.} {125}{You helped build this place? That must have been a long time ago…} {126}{Bullshit. How could you have been around that long?} {127}{Bye.} {128} {mcs8} {Long story. Want it short or the whole thing?} {129}{Give me the short version.} {130}{Hell, I’m not too busy. Let’s hear it all.} {131}{Neither. I have more questions.} {132}{Neither. See ya.} {133} {mcs9} {Right. Me and a human named Jacob built this place around that old bank about 60 years ago. Anyone’s welcome here, long as they keep the peace.} {134}{Great. I have more questions.} {135}{Fair enough. Bye.} {136} {mcs10} {Right...After the Master and the vats were destroyed, I wandered a bit. No place to go. One day got attacked by this fool wearin’ power armor.} {137}{Really?} {138} {mcs11} {That was Jacob, from the Brotherhood of Steel. He’d sworn some oath to destroy muties. We tussled for a while – probably a day or two. After a while, we just started laughing. What was the point?} {139}{Then what?} {140} {mcs12} {We became friends. Headed off together. Then other people started following us. Guess they figured if they weren’t safe with a mutie and a Steel Knight, safe just wasn’t going to happen. } {141}{So you set up here. Why?} {142} {mcs13} {Uranium mine. I knew there was one around from old maps. Now anybody’s welcome here – ‘long as they act right. Others might not think much of us, but nobody’s more free than we are. There ya go.} {143}{Wait… you were friends with a guy from the Brotherhood?} {144}{What, you’re not killing humans anymore?} {145}{Thanks. There I go. Bye.} {146} {mcs14} {Oh, what sinkhole are you from? Muties and normals made peace a long time ago.} {147}{I’m from a village founded by the original Vault Dweller.} {148}{From a village to the north west.} {149}{Oh. My mistake. Well, thanks. Bye.} {150} {mcs15a} {What’s news… what’s news…} {151} {mcs15b} {Well, gettin’ kind of worried about one of our caravan guys. Chad. He might be skimming. You up to checking him out for me?} {152}{What’s in it for me?} {153}{Sure. I’ll do it.} {154}{I’m a little busy.} {155}{You have anything else?} {156} {mcs16} {My undying gratitude. Right?} {157}{Good enough for me.} {158}{No good. I want something.} {159}{How ‘bout more questions while I think it over.} {160}{Let me think about it. Bye.} {161} {mcs17} {That ain’t good enough for you? Then get out.} {162}{Bye.} {163} {mcs18} {Got a little trouble with the mine. If you’re interested in helping fix it, go talk to Zaius, the mine foreman.} {164}{Where can I find him?} {165}{You got anything else?} {166}{I have more questions.} {167}{Maybe later. Bye.} {168} {mcs19} {Usually at the mine. Sometimes the saloon.} {169}{Got anything else?} {170}{I have more questions.} {171}{Bye.} {172} {mcs20} {Somebody busted two lunatics out of the jail in the Bank. Find ‘em. Tell me and I’ll stuff ‘em back in.} {173}{Got anything else?} {174}{I have more questions.} {175}{Bye.} {176} {mcs21} {What exactly do you want? Okay. We’ve got some folks missing. No idea what’s happened. Find ‘em, get $500.} {177}{I’ll do it for free.} {178}{$500? Sounds good.} {179}{I don’t have time.} {180}{I have more questions.} {181}{Bye.} {182} {mcs22} {Great. Let me know when you’ve found something, right?} {183}{Sure. I have more questions.} {184}{Will do. Bye.} {185} {mcs23} {Yeah? What?} {186}{You wanted me to find those missing people. I’ve found some tunnels below the city. They might be there.} {187}{I’ve found those missing people. They’re in tunnels beneath the city.} {188}{Those two escaped convicts? They’re in cahoots with Jacob and Aileen. They're hiding out around Jacob's Drugstore.} {189}{Jacob and Aileen asked me to break two people out of jail. I think they’ve got a plan how to do it.} {190}{Jacob and Aileen want me to blow up the mine. Thought you might want to know.} {191}{A scientist from NCR wants to try an experimental drug that’ll wipe out mutants. Be careful of what you eat and drink.} {192}{Chad took $6000 from the rep in Gecko. The rep was complaining about the price… said it’d been going up.} {193}{Chad kept about $1000 from the last uranium shipment for himself. He's planning on bailing outta town.} {194}{Nothing. Forget it.} {195} {mcs24} {Tunnels under the city? Guess it’s not that surprising with the mines around. You’ll keep looking around for those folks, right? } {196}{Right.} {197} {mcs25a} {They’re dead? Damn… I’ll tell the families myself. } {198} {mcs25b} {Here’s your reward. $500. Thanks for your time.} {199} {mcs25c} {Oh, hey, I know you said you’d do this for free, but take this as our thanks.} {200}{Sure.} {201} {mcs26} {Right. Me and my deputies will take it from here...And, thanks. I don’t forget things like this.} {202}{No prob. Bye.} {203} {mcs27} {What is it people got against mutants? We'll be on the lookout. Thanks. The town owes you. And I never forget things like this.} {204}{My pleasure. Bye.} {205} {mcs28} {Keep your eye on him, will you? I want to catch him red-handed.} {206}{No problem.} {207} {mcs29} {Well, in that case, we’d better be sure to stop him. Want to come along?} {208}{Sure.} {209}{No, thanks.} {210} {mcs30} {You want me to come along with you? Ah, what the hell, I’m too old to settle down. We goin’ now?} {211}{Yes.} {212}{No, not right now.} {213} {mcs31} {Ah, there’s too much going on right now. When things calm down, then I just might.} {214}{Sure. I got more questions.} {215}{Bye.} {216} {mcs32} {Damn right. Best friend I ever had.} {217}{Yeah, right, you would’ve dipped him just like everyone else.} {218}{Bye.} {219} {mcs33} {Hell, yes, I would've. What a great mutant he would’ve been.} {220}{I don't think he'd be happy to hear you say that.} {221}{Bye.} {222} {mcs34} {(laughs) We had this argument all the time. (sigh) I miss that hard-head.} {223}{What about the Master’s hatred for humans?} {224}{I still think it’s a rotten fate.} {225}{Bye.} {226} {mcs35} {You’re talking a long time ago. The world’s moved on. You want to hear ancient history?} {227}{Definitely.} {228}{Not right now. I’d like to ask some other questions, though.} {229}{Not right now. I’ll talk to you later.} {230} {mcs36} {Right. Well, never really HATED humans. We just had a better way. These new governments, they think they've got all the answers. Blah, blah. Been there, seen that, got the scars.} {231}{So what was the better way?} {232} {mcs37} {The Master wanted to elevate everyone to his level, so we wouldn’t fight each other anymore. He was convinced we wouldn’t do it by ourselves – couldn’t. We had to be forced to evolve.} {233}{Do you agree?} {234} {mcs38} {While Jacob was alive, I thought the Master was wrong. But it seems that while some men can heed the call and rise above it all, most just run away.} {235}{So you think the Master was right?} {236} {mcs38a} {Jacob heard the call and embraced it. So did the Vault Dweller. But no matter how many rise above, the masses will always destroy them, right?} {237}{Maybe.} {238} {mcs39} {The Master just wanted everyone to see clearly. The Vault Dweller ended that dream.} {239}{Sounds like you admired and hated the Vault Dweller at the same time.} {240}{You were a human. How can you justify what the Master did to you?} {241}{So you think the Master’s plan was right?} {242}{I’m descended from the original Vault Dweller, you know.} {243} {mcs40} {You’re right. If all humans fought for what they believed in like that, we wouldn’t have needed the Master’s plan in the first place.} {244}{The Master wanted to enslave humanity!} {245}{Interesting spin. I gotta go.} {246} {mcs41} {Don't forget, I knew the folks involved. They were the best humanity had to offer. Your people are going to tell the story a different way, right?} {247}{Err… maybe. Umm, I have more questions.} {248}{Wrong!} {249} {mcs42} {The "original Vault Dweller"? You mean the one who killed the Master and destroyed the vats?} {250}{Ummm… yes.} {251}{Damn right. Gonna do something about it, mutie?} {252}{Nooo… this is someone else. I don’t know what you’re talking about.} {253} {mcs43} {Not a problem. Like I said, that was a long time ago.} {254}{I’m not afraid of you.} {255}{Why did you hate humans back then?} {256} {mcs44} {No reason to be, unless you cross me or someone in my town. Be civilized, that’s all I ask.} {257}{I’ll keep it in mind. I have more questions.} {258}{I’ll keep it in mind. Bye.} {259} {mcs45} {Lemme make this clear: Nothing’s going to happen here unless you start it. Just stay civilized while you’re in my town.} {260}{Yeah, right. I have more questions.} {261}{Yeah, right. Bye.} {262} {mcs46} {My memories of being a human aren't as clear as they once were, but I remember pettiness, hatred, jealousy... I prefer being a mutant.} {263}{So you think the Master’s plan was right?} {264}{Huh. You’re a lot uglier this way. Bye.} {265}{Then you’re fine. Bye.} {266} {mcs47} {It was flawed. We should have only taken the best. Look around. Most mutants didn't have the mind or will to withstand the strain. (sigh) If only we had chosen better…} {267}{So you would have dipped Jacob? Or the Vault Dweller?} {268}{Yeah, that’s a tragedy. Well, see ya later!} {269} {mcs48} {You ever get back there, tell them the war’s over. It's been over a long time.} {270}{Ummm. Okay. I have more questions.} {271}{Sure thing. Bye.} {272} {mcs49alt} {Thanks for your help. Could’ve been trouble. We took their weapons cache and disabled their bombs.} {273}{Great! I have some questions...} {274}{Hey, I found something out.} {275}{Didn’t learn anything.} {276} {mcs103a} {Too many people. I’ve done my traveling with a horde.} {277} {mcs103b} {I thought you were one of the good ones. I ain’t coming with you.} {278} {mcs103c} {I’m not coming with you right now. Sorry. [He looks you up and down distastefully.]} {279}{All right. } # 104. Fear/Defeat Floats, are we using? {280}{That scares the living crap outta me.} {281}{Ain’t much in the wasteland frightens me… that does.} {282}{You must be as stupid as you look if you’re gonna fight me.} {283}{Kickin’ some ass… again.} {284}{It’s almost too easy.} {285}{Don’t you have some friends who can help ya even this out?} {286}{Had enough?} {287}{Got it. Just so you know.} {288}{Humph. Something wasn’t right.} {289} {mcs109} {You want me back now?} {290}{Okay.} {291}{Not just yet. Goodbye.} {292} {mcs110} {What do you want?} {293}{How are you feeling?} {294}{Heal yourself.} {295}{I need you to wait here until I come back.} {296}{That’s it for now.} {297} {mcs111a} {I’m all set.} {298} {mcs111b} {Got nothing that’ll slow us down.} {299} {mcs111c} {You got anything to help?} {300} {mcs111d} {Maybe you should have a look at this.} {301}{Use your skills to heal yourself.} {302}{Never mind.} {303}{OK} {304} {mcs160} {I'll just stay here and tighten the vises on my shoulder.} {305}{Never mind.} {306}{OK} {307}{North.} {308}{Northwest.} {309}{West.} {310}{Southwest.} {311}{South.} {312}{Southeast.} {313}{East.} {314}{Northeast.} {315}{Don’t ask me. I don’t know. } {316}{Yep.} {317}{Right.} {318}{Nope.} {319}{Why’re you talking to me like this?} {320}{Not very nice.} {321}{Thanks. } {322}{This is good.} {323}{This ain’t good.} {324}{I like this. A lot. } {325}{I have a bad feeling about this.} {326}{These people are nuts.} {327}{Didn’t learn anything.} {328}{Learned something.} {329}{Is anyone here sane?} {330}{Gotta be another way.} {331}{Follow me.} {332}{Try this.} {333}{Come here.} {334}{Found something you might want to see.} {335}{Far as I can tell, it’s safe to camp here.} {336}{Ain’t safe to camp here.} {337}{We can rest here.} {338}{I got lucky.} {339}{Fix this, would you?} {340}{Turn this on.} {341}{This thing needs to be unlocked.} {342}{You gonna open this?} {343}{Might want to come back here later.} {344}{I don’t understand.} {345}{I dunno.} {346}{Ow.} {347}{That really hurts.} {348}{That can’t feel good…} {349}{Uh... when you said 'I hope she doesn't get pregnant' in the Cat's Paw in New Reno, what did you mean?} {350} {mcs113} {Didn't your parents explain this to you?} {351}{No, I mean, I thought all you mutants were sterile.} {352}{Never mind.} {353} {mcs114} {What? Where the hell did you hear that?} {354}{So... you AREN'T sterile?} {355}{Nevermind.} {356} {mcs116} {Nope. Well, not now. It takes a few years after bein' dipped to get the juices flowing again. Why?} {357}{Oh. Uh. Never mind.} {360}{You have exposed the conspiracy against the mutants of Broken Hills.} {361}{Marcus agreed to join your party.} {400}{About the missing people...} {410}{About Jacob and Aileen...} {420}{About Chad...} {430}{About the escaped convicts...} {440}{About a scientist from NCR...} {500}{You've got a lot of nerve showing your face here again.} {501}{Never mind. Could I ask you something?} {502}{Never mind. Bye.} {600}{I don't feel so good, boss.} {601}{Don't do that.} {602}{Don't you think this place is a little creepy?} {603}{Hope you got hip waders... we're about walk into some heavy shit.} {604}{I don't much like the looks of this place.} {605}{This broken bone can only grind so much before I pass out, boss.} {606}{Ahh, humanity.} {607}{Now this is a fine example of why the Master was right.} {608}{And you thought mutants were diseased.} {609}{Careful here, boss. These guys look tough.} {610}{Man... you humans never cease to amaze me.} {611}{Hope you know where we're going...} {612}{Let's kick their asses, boss.} {613}{It's assholes like these that make me mad.} {614}{Ahh, home again.} {615}{Don't forget... I helped build this place. Be good.} {616}{Nice to see the 'ol homestead again.} {617}{I always hated this place.} {618}{When do we leave?} {619}{Let's get out of here.} {620}{Don't think I'm wanted here, chief.} {621}{So this is where it all started, eh?} {622}{Let's have some healing over here, huh?} {623}{Wanna play fetch, dog?} {624}{Roll over, dog! Play dead!} {625}{Hey dog! Sic 'em!} {626}{Hey Lenny! You ever go to Broken Hills?} {627}{Lenny! Let's get somethin' to drink!} {628}{Nice to have another evolved human in the group, Lenny.} {629}{Hey Myron! Wanna wreslte?} {630}{Don't worry, little Myron. I'll watch out for you.} {631}{Check out the big brain on Myron!} {632}{Phwheew!!! Did someone just cut a muffin?} {633}{[whistle] Daisy, daisy... [sing]} {634}{Man, I've got one hell of a wedgie.} {635}{At my age, it's nice to slow down every once in a while.} {636}{Just watching the clouds...} {637}{Zzzzzzzzz.} {638}{Thanks, boss.} {639}{Uh... thanks, friend.} {640}{Err... thanks. I guess.} {641}{Thanks. I was thirsty.} {642}{Whoa...I feel a little funny.} {643}{I guess Francis was right about Jacob. That murderous bastard won't cause any more trouble in this town.} {644}{You have received a scoped hunting rifle.} {1100} {mcs43alt} {Not a problem.} {3000}{Let's head out.} {3100}{Forget I asked then, asshole.} {3200}{Never mind then. Your loss.} {3300}{Darn. Maybe later then.} {9999}{I wanted to ask you some questions...} {10001}{Take some more stims and heal yourself.} {10002}{Marcus, I need you to wait here until I come back.} {10003}{Put your weapon away.} {10004}{Stay close to me.} {10005}{Don't get too far away.} {10006}{We should spread out a bit.} {10100}{C'mon, Marcus. Time to head out.} {10007}{Let's head out then.} {20000} {mcs81b} {Right.} {20001}{Heh. I can use just about any big gun, like rocket launchers or miniguns, and the big energy weapons. I ain't bad with my fists, and I'm a hell of a shot with grenades. I don't wear armor. They just don't make it my size.}
