{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.}

Play sound
MCS10.ogg

{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?}

Play sound
MCS11.ogg

{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. }

MCS12.ogg

{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.}

{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.}

Play sound
MCS36.ogg

{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.}

Play sound
MCS37.ogg

{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.}

Play sound
MCS38.ogg

{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?}

Play sound

{237}{}{Maybe.}

{238}{mcs39}{The Master just wanted everyone to see clearly. The Vault Dweller ended that dream.}

{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.}

{264}{}{Huh. You’re a lot uglier this way. Bye.}
{265}{}{Then you’re fine. Bye.}
