{160}{}{Bugmen take moo-moos at night. Torr scared! Hep Torr? (Well, as I said, they are nocturnal in their feeding habits. I sure could use some assistance in guarding the grahmin. Will you kill any bugmen that you see near the brahmin?)} {161}{}{Bugmen take moo-moos at night. Torr scared! Hep Torr?} {162}{}{Hep Torr hep moo-moo. (Yes, of course I’ll help you fend of the predation of your family’s brahmin by these nefarious bugmen.)} {163}{}{Bugmen bad. No hep Torr.

I can help you guard the brahmin.} {165}{}{I can’t (shaking head at Torr) help you with that. Goodbye.} {166}{}{Traygu Oo?

{190}{}{Ook! Ugmen, Ulik ribal, Smiley mook. (Well, there’s my bugmen problem. Then there’s Sulik, the tribal, that my mom is making work off a debt -— I think sis is in love with him. Mom’s boyfriend, a fellow named Smiley, is missing someplace out to the west. Quite exciting here, lately.)} {191}{}{Torr? (There is a lot going on here. Let me ask you something else.)} {192}{}{Ook! (That’s enough information for now. Goodbye.)}

Let me ask you something else.)} {212}{}{Zoogy no. (Good advice. I don’t think I need anything else right now, though. Goodbye.)}

{220}{}{Jeannie? Gick Vic (So you want a GECK, huh? Weren’t those originally issued to vaults? I don’t know where you’d find one, but if anyone does it would be Vic, the trader. He specializes in prewar things. He lives in the northeast part of Klamath.)} {221}{}{Bellows, Gick Vic? (Thanks for the low down on that. I’ll have to give Vic a try. Let me ask you something else.)} {222}{}{Roger? Gick Vic, Haji! (Thanks; I think I’ll go look for him now. Goodbye.)}

(I’m sure that they won’t take your brahmin if we’re both here.)} {233}{}{I hope we can put a stop to these things attacking your moo-moos. Uh, I mean brahmin. I don’t think anything would attack with both of us here.} {234}{}{Actually, I’m here to warn you. I saw some Bugmen just on the other side of that rock. As a friend, I’ll watch the moo-moos for you, while you run for help.}
