BMNeilAskDanger	What makes this a "dangerous place?"	Neutral 50	You must've heard her radio broadcasts? Though why a human would follow her invitation here is beyond me... unless you didn't listen very closely.	1
		Neutral 50	The voice on the radio belongs to Tabitha, the "supreme commander" of Black Mountain - or, as she calls it, the "State of Utobitha."	2
		Neutral 50	She took control of this place almost two years ago. The Super Mutants here do whatever she says - and she says humans are to be killed on sight.	3
BMNeilAskDetails	What sort of trouble should I expect if I head up?	Neutral 50	The road is a series of switchbacks up to the peak. There are three blockades, plus patrols. Sneaking past them would be... difficult.	4
		Neutral 50	Just before the peak is a kind of shanty village. More second-gens there. And then there's Tabitha's compound - heavily guarded by her Nightkin.	5
	Remind me what I should expect if I head up?	Neutral 50	The road is a series of switchbacks up to the peak. There are three blockades, plus patrols. Sneaking past them would be... difficult.	6
		Neutral 50	Just before the peak is a kind of shanty village. More second-gens there. And then there's Tabitha's compound - heavily guarded by her Nightkin.	7
BMNeilAskForHelpSpeech {Speech >= 50}	Sounds like you've had enough of Tabitha. What if you had some help?	Neutral 50	[SUCCEEDED] Help would improve the odds. Help might just make the difference...	8
		Neutral 50	All right, if you're good enough at what you do to meet me in the village up near the peak, we can talk further.	9
		Neutral 50	I'll have a plan by the time I see you - if I see you. Good luck. It's going to be a lot harder for you to get up there than it will be for me.	10
	Hey! Let's you and me - you know, us! - let's overthrow Tabitha together!	Neutral 50	[FAILED] Hmm. While your enthusiasm is... admirable, I think I'd best stay here so I can warn other travelers.	11
BMNeilAskHistory	How did Tabitha end up in control?	Neutral 50	For years, Black Mountain was a peaceful community. Its leader, Marcus, broadcast an invitation to Mutants throughout the wasteland.	12
		Neutral 50	That's how I found Black Mountain. So did others, most of them second generation Mutants. Marcus welcomed everyone - that was his mistake.	13
		Neutral 50	The community ended up being mostly second gen - not very bright, but easy to influence. Fine, until the Nightkin came along, led by Tabitha...	14
		Neutral 50	In a week she had most of the second-gens thinking she was some kind of prophet - and that she should be broadcasting her "truth," not Marcus.	15
		Neutral 50	Marcus saw what was coming and decided to leave before things got out of hand. He smashed the radio and left to found Jacobstown.	16
BMNeilAskJacobstown	What is Jacobstown?	Neutral 50	The opposite of Black Mountain! A stable community of Mutants, mostly, led by a mentally stable leader.	17
		Neutral 50	Humans are welcome there, so long as they behave themselves. Look northwest of Red Rock Canyon if you want to find it.	18
BMNeilAskMutantsWereMade	You say that super mutants were *made*?	Neutral 50	Yes... And it's not something I care to discuss with one of your kind.	19
		Neutral 50	If you have some insatiable curiosity about the matter, talk to Marcus in Jacobstown. He's more patient with such questions than I am.	20
BMNeilAskNightkin	Tell me about the Nightkin.	Neutral 50	The Nightkin are vicious in combat, and that's if you see them coming. Most don't.	21
		Neutral 50	They were created to be soldiers, and given devices to camouflage them in battle. Unfortunately, the devices drove most of them mad over time.	22
		Neutral 50	They spend most of their time at the top of the mountain, but patrol the roads after dark as well. You'd do well to avoid the mountain at night.	23
BMNeilAskRadio	You say Marcus smashed the radio. Not very well, apparently?	Neutral 50	Heh. There's a sad story behind that. Marcus smashed it just fine, but while we were gone some Ghoul named Raul came along.	24
		Neutral 50	Tabitha turned him into her personal mechanic. A slave, really. See, if I'd been standing down here, I could've warned him before it was too late.	25
BMNeilAskSelf	Why are you here, instead of Jacobstown?	Neutral 50	Marcus sent me here a couple of months ago to check on Black Mountain. I suppose you could say I came here as a spy.	26
		Neutral 50	But with no signs of Tabitha's weakening, and none of the second-gens ready to revolt or to come to Jacobstown, there wasn't much I could do.	27
		Neutral 50	Down here, on the other hand, I've saved a dozen Mutants from heading up the mountain. It's not much, but it's something.	28
		Neutral 50	I have my own reasons to stay away from Jacobstown for a while - reasons we won't be discussing - so I've stayed here.	29
BMNeilFriendly	You seem friendly, for a mutant.	Neutral 50	Keep saying things like that, and I won't be so friendly. Not every Super Mutant is a brain-damaged brute. {irritated}	30
		Neutral 50	Many of us are just as intelligent as basic humans - and the rest don't really have any choice in the matter, do they?	31
BMNeilFriendlyMovingOn	Moving on...	Neutral 50	Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you to do. Move on. {telling him to scram}	32
BMNeilFriendlySorry	Sorry about that. No offense intended.	Neutral 50	And none taken... since you apologized.	33
BMNeilFriendlyToughShit	Spare me the "poor mutants" rap, all right?	Neutral 50	Of course. Sorry I bothered you. Enjoy your travels.	34
BMNeilHeadUpMountain	Thanks for the warning, but I can take care of myself.	Neutral 50	Yes, I hear that sometimes. And then I never see the people who said it again.	35
	Thanks for the warning, but I can take care of myself.	Neutral 50	You do look like someone who can take care of himself. But I think you'll find this is more than you bargained for...	36
	Thanks for the warning, but I can take care of myself.	Neutral 50	You do look like someone who can take care of herself. But I think you'll find this is more than you bargained for...	37
BMNeilOffToJacobstown	What will you do now?	Neutral 50	I still have a job to do here. Some Mutants may have heard Tabitha's broadcasts and are headed here even as we speak.	38
		Neutral 50	I'll remain and direct any who show up toward Jacobstown, where they'll be much better off.	39
BMNeilSupMutantGens	Why are some Super Mutants smarter than others?	Neutral 50	Not all Super Mutants were created equal. Or at the same time, or for the same purpose.	40
		Neutral 50	The first generation tends to be smarter, stronger, and... more civilized, I suppose you could say, than the ones made later, save the Nightkin.	41
BMNeilVillageAgree	Okay, I can make that work.	Neutral 50	Good luck. We're going to need it.	42
BMNeilVillageDisagree	That's your plan? I *am* an intruder in the village!	Neutral 50	Yes, so try to stay out of sight, because they'll be coming this way.	43
BMNeilVillageNotReady	Not yet. Wait here.	Neutral 50	Whatever you need to do, be quick about it.	44
BMNeilVillageReadyForMob	Let's do it.	Neutral 50	Here's the plan. The gate to Tabitha's compound is guarded by several Nightkin, all of them using devices that make them invisible.	45
		Neutral 50	I'm going to draw them away from the gate by telling them I spotted an intruder in the village. Then you slip in.	46
GREETING	GREETING	Neutral 50	Good work, human. Maybe now this place can rest in peace.	47
	GREETING	Neutral 50	There's nothing for you here, human, though it is always good to see you.	48
	GREETING	Neutral 50	I've done what I can. The rest is up to you, human.	49
	GREETING	Neutral 50	This is a dangerous place, human - especially for your kind! I suggest you turn back. There's nothing good waiting for you further on.	50
	GREETING	Neutral 50	Still hanging about?	51
	GREETING	Neutral 50	A pleasant surprise to see you made it. I'm ready to get started if you are.	52
	GREETING	Neutral 50	We shouldn't wait much longer. Are you ready?	53
VEndingBlackMountain	VEndingBlackMountain	Neutral 50	{Narrating} Though some Super Mutants and Nightkin continued to journey to the legendary Utobitha, they found little trace of its existence.	54
		Neutral 50	Some eventually found their way to Jacobstown, but many wandered off into the wastes, confused and disheartened.	55
	VEndingBlackMountain	Neutral 50	{Narrating} Tabitha and Rhonda went east, through Caesar's land. Occasionally tales of their exploits found their way back west, though few believed them.	56
		Neutral 50	Eventually the stories concerning the duo were collected and published, and proved to be quite popular with children.	57
	VEndingBlackMountain	Neutral 50	{Narrating} Black Mountain Radio continued to broadcast its peculiar form of propaganda. Raul Tejada faced his execution each day, though pardoned in the end.	58
		Neutral 50	Travelers venturing too near Black Mountain continue to be harassed by Tabitha's followers.	59
	VEndingBlackMountain	Neutral 50	{Narrating} Tabitha, enraged by Raul's escape, took the remaining Nightkin of Black Mountain with her and vanished without a trace.	60
		Neutral 50	Travelers in the region soon learned to avoid the roads at night, as caravans were repeatedly attacked by unseen assailants.	61
VFreeformBlackMountainBMNeilTopic000	With Tabitha gone, what will happen to this place?	Neutral 50	Who knows? It might stay abandoned, get used as a base for raiders, or even become another colony for mutants.	62
		Neutral 50	The future is not written, human, and it is foolish to squint at what cannot be seen.	63
VFreeformBlackMountainBMNeilTopic001	I'll leave things here to you, then.	Neutral 50	Be safe, human. And thanks again for everything.	64
