I found out who killed the Rangers at Station Charlie.
|
Fear 30
|
I'm afraid to ask.
|
| RangerAndyWhatDoYouDo
|
What do you do here, Andy?
|
Neutral 50
|
Right now? A whole lot of sitting on my keister and counting cracks in the ceiling. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
|
| Neutral 50
|
On better days I help keep the peace. Boone and Vargas watch the road, I watch the town. Tell myself I'm doing some good.
|
| SnipersRevengeWrongWithBoone
|
What's wrong with Boone?
|
Neutral 50
|
Had his wife taken. I don't think he'll ever be the same as he was. Damn shame.
|
| Neutral 50
|
I told the Rangers up at the station to keep an eye out, but there's just too much ground out there for them to cover.
|
| RangerAndyStationProbablyNothing
|
A station full of Rangers ought to be able to handle themselves.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah, who am I kidding? It's funny, you get stuck in your room for a few weeks, you start to worry the world's gonna fall apart without you.
|
| Neutral 50
|
Those guys are fine. They don't need me looking over their shoulders.
|
| VMQ01LookingForManny
|
I'm looking for a man in a checkered coat. Have you seen anyone like that?
|
Neutral 50
|
No, but I've been laid up for a while now. Haven't been able to keep an eye on things like usual.
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's a small town, though. I'm sure someone would've noticed somebody like that if they came this way.
|
| VFreeformNovacRangerAndyTopic000
|
<Lie> I think the attackers were dead too... so it's... hard to tell.
|
Neutral 50
|
In Ranger school, they teach you how to spot a liar. I don't know why you're lying, but have it your way. We'll protect this town or die trying.

Well, thanks for telling me. I know that knowledge didn't come without risk.
|
| Neutral 50
|
Here. Take this, courtesy of the Ranger veterans fund.
|
| RangerAndyStationCompletion
|
Neutral 50
|
Tell you what. I'll pay you for what you did, but I'll do you one better, too.
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's a move we have in the Rangers for knocking an opponent off his feet. Saved my butt a bunch of times, maybe it will for you too.
|
| Neutral 50
|
Let me show you how it's done.
|
| VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic002
|
Tell me about the Rangers.
|
Neutral 50
|
They're the NCR's finest. A one-man platoon, each of 'em.
|
| Neutral 50
|
You got a job where even thinking about it would scare a man senseless, that's when you bring in the Rangers.
|
| Neutral 50
|
And if you see a squad of the veterans - guys who earned their black armor... well... you won't find a more beautiful sight.
|
| RangerAndyWithNCR
|
You're with the NCR, right?
|
Neutral 50
|
Was. Was with them. That was back when my arm and leg used to work better.
|
| Neutral 50
|
I still like to pretend I'm a Ranger, though. I'll check in with the guys up at the station pretty regular on the ham radio.
|
| Happy 50
|
Sometimes they stop by, tell me they're paying their respects, the smug bastards.
|
| Neutral 50
|
They haven't been responding to me, last couple of days. I guess they got tired of hearing me talk, but it's still got me a little worried.
|
| Anger 15
|
Hell, listen to me talk. Like some damn mother hen.
|
| RangerAndyStationReportUnsure
|
Actually, I'm still not sure.
|
Anger 30
|
Please, if you know the truth, tell me. Those guys were friends of mine.
|
| Actually, I'm still not sure.
|
Fear 40
|
Okay. Keep me posted.
|
| SnipersRevengeComeOutside
|
Come with me. There's something you should see, in front of the dinosaur.
|
Neutral 50
|
As long as we don't go too far. Jeannie May would have a fit if she saw me out and about.
|
| Come with me. There's something you should see, in front of the dinosaur.

Any excuse to get out of my room.

|
Neutral 50
|
No, I don't think I have much to offer in that department either. Too many blows to the head during combat drills.
|
| RangerAndyStationRansacked
|
I went to the ranger station. Everyone there was wiped out.
|
Neutral 50
|
What? What happened?
|
| RangerAndyStationLookIntoOffer
|
Would you feel better if I checked on your NCR friends for you?
|
Neutral 50
|
Uh... no. No. They're gonna think I'm having trouble letting go. They're good soldiers. I don't give them enough credit.

Hey, I'm sorry, but I've gotta turn around. Leg's giving me some trouble.
|
| RangerAndyUsefulKnowledge
|
Your body is injured, not your mind. You're kidding yourself if you think you're useless.
|
Happy 35
|
Heh. People don't exactly line up to find out what's in my head. Can't remember the last time someone suggested I knew something worth knowing.
|
| Neutral 50
|
You know, maybe there's something I can do for you. Since you've gone to all the trouble of flattering a crippled old soldier.
|
| Neutral 50
|

|
| Neutral 50
|
Let me show you how it's done.
|
| RangerAndySomethingElse
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Happy 30
|
<Laughs>Yeah. I'm with you there.
|
| Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Like what?
|
| SnipersRevengeBooneWife
|
What can you tell me about Boone's wife?
|
Happy 25
|
Carla was a knockout. Whenever Boone walked around with her, he always had this funny grin on his face like he couldn't believe his luck.
|
| Happy 65
|
I know {emph} we couldn't.
|
| Neutral 50
|
That wasn't the only reason she stuck out, though. That girl never minced words.
|
| Happy 25
|
If she'd had better food or hospitality, she'd let you hear it. Trouble was, she usually had.
|
| Sad 20
|
I don't think she meant it. She really was a sweet girl.
|
| Sad 10
|
I think she just wanted to remind herself that there are still nicer places in this world than Novac. Who could blame her for that?
|
| RangerAndyStationReportTrue
|
Members of Caesar's Legion ambushed them.
|
Sad 40
|
Those were good men at the station. Good men. This whole town was sleeping a lot easier because of them.
|
| Neutral 50
|
Now, who knows what we're in for? The Legion? Christ, we'd be better off with Raiders.

|
| RangerAndyStationReportNoDetails
|
I don't know the details. I just saw a lot of dead rangers.
|
Anger 70
|
God damn it! I just spoke to them the other day. If this is some kind of sick joke-
|
| Sad 40
|
<Sighs> Nah, that'd be too far, even for those guys.
|
| Neutral 50
|
Listen, this could be trouble for all of us. Whoever did this is still out there, and they might come this way.
|
| Neutral 50
|
If you can find out who did this, we can be better prepared to deal with them if they come through here.
|
| RangerAndyStationReportLie
|
<Lie> The attackers are all dead too. It's impossible to identify them.
|
Sad 50
|

|
| Neutral 50

At least they gave somebody some hell on their way out.

|
| RangerAndyStationNCRWeak
|
The Rangers are soft. They're probably already dead.
|
Anger 60
|
Obviously you don't know the first damn thing about the Rangers. Without them, nobody in these parts would be safe.
|
| Neutral 50
|
No, I'm getting all worked up for nothing. Those boys are just fine.
|
| RangerAndyStationAcceptLogQuest
|
I'll come back when I know more.
|
Neutral 50
|
Be careful out there.
|
| RangerAndyStationDeclineLogQuest
|
I'm not interested in this town's problems.
|
Neutral 50
|
Sorry you feel that way. Then again, I'm not so sure I want to know who did this, myself.
|
| RangerAndyLegStory
|
What happened?
|
Neutral 50
|
A few years back, we get a tip that some Legion slavers were holed up in this burnt out house a few klicks from where we were stationed.
|
| Neutral 50
|
We get there and it's deserted. No sign anyone's been there. I mean nothing. As we're leaving, I hear something behind me.
|
| Neutral 50
|
I turn around and there's this kid, just skin and bone, and he's looking up at us and he's scared half to death. Been hiding in a closet.
|
| RangerAndyLeg
|
Did you do something to your leg?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah. Twice. Actually the first time it was more like half my body. Knocked me out of the Rangers.
|
| Neutral 50
|
This time it's mostly just reminded me how useless I've gotten.
|
| VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic000
|
Hey, just because you're idle and you'll never walk again... I forgot where I was going with that.
|
Neutral 50
|
{Trying to be polite after getting unintentionally offended} I'm sure it was very inspiring.
|
| VDialogueNovacRangerAndyTopic001
|
What did you do?
|
Neutral 50
|
I go to grab him out of there and I notice he's holding something in his hand. Something metal.
|
| Neutral 50
|
He shuts himself back inside the closet and that's when I see the grenade he's left by my feet.
|
| Neutral 50
|
They do it a lot, the Legion. Using kids. They know we'll hesitate.
|
| Neutral 50
|
Anyway, that was the first time. Second time I fell down those stairs in front of the motel. Just in case I got to thinking I'd put it all behind me.

Boy you picked that takedown right up. I'm impressed. Must've had some prior training, huh?
|

|

You'll get the hang of that takedown. I had trouble learning it at first, too.

Any word on Station Charlie?
