AboutBrotherhood1 Do you sell any specialty items? |
Can you tell me more about the Brotherhood of Steel? | Neutral 50 | Oh yes, I can. In fact, I suspect I could write several texts on the various details of the Brotherhood. | 1 |
Anger 10 | But I suspect you're in a hurry, so what particulars would you like to know? | 2 | ||
AboutBrotherhood2A MS07AboutBrotherhood2A |
What are the central beliefs of the Brotherhood? | Sad 25 | I'm afraid the answer to that is a lot more nuanced than others might suggest. | 3 |
Neutral 50 | Brotherhood members are sworn to acquire and protect technology of the past. But not everyone interprets these oaths in the same way. | 4 | ||
Sad 25 | Elder Lyons sees these duties as part of a larger dedication to protect the innocent. Some, like the Outcasts, disagree with these priorities. | 5 | ||
AboutBrotherhood2B MS07AboutBrotherhood2B |
What have been the highlights of your time with the Brotherhood? | Happy 25 | I like to think that I've still got some big achievements left in me, although some of my joints seem to disagree these days. | 6 |
Surprise 25 | I'll tell you what the low-lights of my time have been though: every time I've been shot at. I'm a scribe, not a soldier! | 7 | ||
AboutBrotherhood2C MS07AboutBrotherhood2C |
What's the biggest challenge the Brotherhood has ever faced? | Fear 25 | It seems like whichever challenge we're facing is always the biggest one. Survival at first, then expansion, and now cohesion. | 8 |
Neutral 50 | We've seen plenty of Wasteland freaks or would-be dictators. They're not too bad, at least we've faced that sort of thing before. | 9 | ||
Fear 25 | But more recent events, like the schism with the Outcasts... Those are the problems that worry me. | 10 | ||
AboutBrotherhood2return MS07AboutBrotherhood2return |
That's enough for now. | Neutral 50 | Okay. Anything else? | 11 |
AboutOutcasts1 MS07AboutOutcasts1 |
Tell me more about the Outcasts. | Sad 10 | It's a rather sad story, I'm afraid. Last year, some of our soldiers had grave disagreements with the decisions of Elder Lyons. | 12 |
Neutral 50 | Disagreements spiraled out of control, and there was a schism in the ranks. The loyal soldiers practically threw out the dissenters. | 13 | ||
Neutral 50 | Now they call themselves the Outcasts. | 14 | ||
AboutOutcasts2A MS07AboutOutcasts2A |
What sort of disagreements did they have? | Anger 25 | Where Elder Lyons has fought to protect the people of the Capital Wasteland, the Outcasts demanded we move on and leave them to their fates. | 15 |
Neutral 50 | They insisted there was more important technology to be recovered in a scientific base in the ruins of Fort Independence, to the West. | 16 | ||
Sad 10 | As callous as their decision may be, it's more in line with our original mission. Elder Lyons is an inspiration to us, but to them he's a traitor. | 17 | ||
AboutOutcasts2B MS07AboutOutcasts2B |
Who were the exiles? | Sad 10 | The soldiers rallied behind Paladin Casdin, who was one of Elder Lyons' original squad. They served together for over twenty years. | 18 |
Sad 5 | Casdin was well-respected, and every bit as loyal to the Brotherhood as Elder Lyons. He just disagreed with the interpretations of our oaths. | 19 | ||
Sad 25 | But when disagreements turned into fistfights, he left with the Outcasts. We lost more allies that day than we ever have to any battle. | 20 | ||
AboutOutcasts2C MS07AboutOutcasts2C |
What are you doing about them? | Sad 25 | As much as some of our soldiers would like to see them shot for deserting, there's not much we can do. We're too busy with the Super Mutants. | 21 |
Neutral 50 | Meanwhile, they're busy seeking out new technology and trying to get back in contact with the Brotherhood out West. | 22 | ||
Sad 10 | So our paths rarely cross, but it's never pretty when they do. I just hope things cool down before it gets worse. | 23 | ||
AboutOutcasts2return MS07AboutOutcasts2return |
Enough about the Outcasts. | Sad 25 | It is a rather discouraging subject, isn't it? | 24 |
AboutOutcasts3A MS07AboutOutcasts3A |
It sounds like it was quite a loss. Is there any way to reconcile them? | Sad 25 | Lyons and Casdin would have to agree to any sort of reconciliation, and that's pretty unlikely. They're both quite proud and... stubborn. {Not entirely comfortable speaking ill of either of them} | 25 |
Sad 25 | Me, I just wish there was a way we could all agree that at least we're still on the same side. There are bigger problems out there, after all. | 26 | ||
AboutOutcasts3B MS07AboutOutcasts3B |
If so many people agreed with him, maybe he has a good point. | Sad 10 | That's the thing, really. Casdin's "technology first" sort of attitude is more traditional in the Brotherhood always used to operate, out West. {Emphasis on the "IS" in "...sort of attitude IS more traditional"} | 27 |
Happy 25 | But somewhere along the way from there to here, Elder Lyons made sure we watched out for the people, not just the technology. {Proud of Lyons for the decision} | 28 | ||
Neutral 50 | To some of us, that was noble. I guess to Casdin and his crew, it was just soft. I wish they could see some sort of middle ground. | 29 | ||
AboutOutcasts3C MS07AboutOutcasts3C |
Well, good riddance to them. If you waver in your oaths, you get punished. | Sad 10 | You sound like some of the hard-liners. We all served together for years, but now some of the soldiers hate them as much as the Super Mutants. | 30 |
CitScribeAbout | What do you Scribes do? | Neutral 50 | Why, a great many things! | 31 |
Neutral 50 | There are three Orders within the Scribes, you see. Each dedicated to a different field of study. | 32 | ||
CitScribeAboutEND | That's all I needed. | Neutral 50 | Very well. | 33 |
That's all I needed. | Neutral 50 | Certainly. | 34 | |
That's all I needed. | Neutral 50 | Let me know if you need something else. | 35 | |
CitScribeAboutOrders What are the Orders? |
Could you name the Orders? | Neutral 50 | Of course. There's the Order of the Sword, Order of the Shield, and Order of the Quill. | 36 |
Neutral 50 | The Order of the Sword develops and maintains the Brotherhood's weapons. The Order of the Shield does the same for our Power Armor and defenses. | 37 | ||
Neutral 50 | The Order of the Quill is responsible for recovering and preserving knowledge, ancient and otherwise. | 38 | ||
CitScribeAboutWhatOrder What Order are you a part of? |
Which Order do you serve, Squire Bowditch? | Neutral 50 | I am Proctor of the Order of the Shield. I oversee the others in my Order, and make sure our defenses are up to snuff. | 39 |
Surprise 50 | Do you know how long it took to fortify these ruins? From the husk of the Pentagon I carved a grand Citadel! No easy task, my friend! | 40 | ||
Fear 10 | Ah, but that was yesterday, when all we had to worry about was those damn Super Mutants. The Enclave, now... That's a different problem altogether... | 41 | ||
DLC03TLCitadelEnclave | So... Any thoughts on the Enclave? | Neutral 50 | The data you recovered gives our best chance at finishing the fight. I only hope we didn't miss anything in the decryption. | 42 |
So... Any thoughts on the Enclave? | Neutral 50 | I have to admire their resourcefulness. | 43 | |
Neutral 50 | If we can't defend ourselves against this new weapon of theirs, there's little hope for our current campaign. | 44 | ||
So... Any thoughts on the Enclave? | Neutral 50 | We've held up very well against them so far. Our Power Armor modifications are showing positive results. | 45 | |
Neutral 50 | Now that we've gotten our hands on more of their weaponry, we can adjust to better shield against it. | 46 | ||
GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Hrm? Yes, hello. I've heard about you. We don't get many strangers here in the Citadel, especially those who walk about unescorted. | 47 |
Neutral 50 | I am Scribe Bowditch. If you require something, simply ask. | 48 | ||
GREETING | Neutral 50 | How may a serve you, friend of Steel? | 49 | |
MS08TechnicalClue1 | Do you know anything about an android from the Commonwealth? | Neutral 50 | Supposedly he needed facial reconstruction and memory wipe. At first we were thrilled about the idea of androids. Turns out it was just a hoax. | 50 |
MS08TechnicalClue2 | What do you know about the android from the Commonwealth? | Neutral 50 | It's a hoax. Here listen to this "android recording." We analyzed it. That's clearly a human man speaking. {doubting the rumors} | 51 |
Tell me more about this holotape about the android. | Neutral 50 | They sent tapes like that to various people who were interested in gadgets and technology. Our analyses concluded it was an ordinary man. {doubting the rumors} | 52 | |
MS08TechnicalClue3 | You know anything about the mind wipe on that escaped android? | Happy 50 | Most believe it's a hoax. Here's some evidence for you to consider for yourself. Take this holotape. {bragging that he's in the know} | 53 |
You know anything about the mind wipe on that escaped android? | Happy 50 | Most believe it's a hoax. There's some evidence for it being real. I'm not convinced either way. {bragging that he's in the know} | 54 | |
I found some info on a Circuit Neuralizer. Care to elaborate? | Happy 50 | Most believe it's a hoax. There's some evidence for it being real. I'm not convinced either way. {bragging that he's in the know} | 55 | |
MS08TechnicalClue3Bribe | Got any info on an android mind wipe? Here's a 100 cap "research fee." | Happy 50 | Most believe it's a hoax. Here's some evidence for you to consider for yourself. Take this holotape. {bragging that he's in the know} | 56 |
MS08TechnicalClue3Stat | You know how they rewrote engrams in a cluster of Android memory subroutines? | Happy 50 | Most believe it's a hoax. Here's some evidence for you to consider for yourself. Take this holotape. {bragging that he's in the know} | 57 |
MS08TechnicalClue4 | Do you know who did the memory transfer on the escaped android? | Surprise 50 | Normally I don't traffic in unsubstantiated rumor, but... they say old Pinkerton is hiding out somewhere in Rivet City and that he did it. {bragging that he is in the know} | 58 |
Do you know who did the memory transfer on the escaped android? | Surprise 50 | Normally I don't traffic in unsubstantiated rumor, but... they say old Pinkerton is hiding out somewhere in Rivet City and that he did it. {bragging that he is in the know} | 59 | |
I know you know about the memory transfer on that android... | Surprise 50 | Normally I don't traffic in unsubstantiated rumor, but... they say old Pinkerton is hiding out somewhere in Rivet City and that he did it. {bragging that he is in the know} | 60 | |
MS08TechnicalClue4Bribe | I'll give you 100 caps if you know who did the mind wipe on that android. | Surprise 50 | Normally I don't traffic in unsubstantiated rumor, but... they say old Pinkerton is hiding out somewhere in Rivet City and that he did it. {bragging that he is in the know} | 61 |
MS08TechnicalClue4Stat | Do you know anything about the AI swap on that Commonwealth android? | Surprise 50 | Normally I don't traffic in unsubstantiated rumor, but... they say old Pinkerton is hiding out somewhere in Rivet City and that he did it. {bragging that he is in the know} | 62 |
SpeechChallengeFailure | SpeechChallengeFailure | Disgust 10 | I'm trained in resisting all forms of coercion. You're wasting your time. {doesn't think the player is worthy of the information, or can be trusted with it} | 63 |
TLCitadelEnclave | So... Any thoughts on the Enclave? | Neutral 50 | They're sporting some pretty impressive Power Armor, I'll give them that. The Advanced Mark II. | 64 |
Neutral 50 | But that's all right. With a few modifications, our own armor will more than handle anything they throw at it. | 65 | ||
TLCitadelSuperMutant | Care to share anything about the Super Mutants? | Disgust 50 | They're relentless. Like nothing I've ever seen before. I honestly think they see our Brothers in Power Armor as some kind of... canned meal. | 66 |
Sad 20 | Some of the... pieces... we've had brought back. Men and women ripped in half. Some pulled through their armor. Just horrible. {emphasis on "through" } | 67 | ||
TLScribeRepair | Could you repair my equipment? | Neutral 50 | I suppose that I can. The Brotherhood can make use of Wasteland currency to trade. | 68 |
Could you repair my equipment? | Neutral 50 | Certainly. | 69 |

CitTalkBowditchElderLyons1 | CitTalkBowditchElderLyons1 | Neutral 50 | Ah... you're a bit early today, sir. Regardless, I'm happy to report that the development of the Mark II Recon Armor unit is proceeding as planned. | 70 |
CitTalkBowditchElderLyons1 | Neutral 50 | You're a bit late today, sir. I was afraid that you weren't coming. As per my report that I forwarded to you, the development is on schedule. | 71 | |
CitTalkBowditchElderLyons3 | CitTalkBowditchElderLyons3 | Neutral 50 | There may be a slight delay in the enhancement of the ambulatory gyroscope. A few of the parts I need were lost in the recent... inventory reduction. | 72 |
CitTalkBowditchElderLyons3 | Neutral 50 | I'm afraid that there may be a delay, sir. So far, I haven't been able to salvage a fellulator unit from the parts that we have on hand. | 73 | |
CitTalkBowditchElderLyons5 | CitTalkBowditchElderLyons5 | Neutral 50 | Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. | 74 |
CitTalkBowditchElderLyons5 | Surprise 50 | Yes, sir. Actually, perhaps I can fashion one out of... hrm... if you'll excuse me, sir. I have to jot something down before I forget. | 75 | |
