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

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 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
