GREETING

|
Hold up! There are Deathclaws all over the damn place north of here. I'd turn back if I were you.

If you want to get to New Vegas, you're better off heading east from Primm and then looping north. It's a heck of a lot safer.

|
Can't believe anyone actually made it through from the north, what with all the Deathclaws at the quarry. You returning from New Vegas?

You need something?

Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50

If you insist on going north, don't be expecting a rescue when you get into trouble.
|

|
Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yep.

What can you tell me about New Vegas?
|
Neutral 50
|
I've been there once, and I don't recommend it. It's just a way to burn through a month's pay in five minutes.
|
7
|
Neutral 50
|
I've seen a lot of folks come through here thinking they'll have the easy life once they get there. It never happens.

|
Where'd the Deathclaws come from?
|
Neutral 50
|
They moved into the quarry after the Powder Gangers came through and made off with most of our dynamite.
|
9
|
Neutral 50
|
We shut the quarry down while we waited for the NCR to get us some more blasting sticks, but now the Deathclaws have shown up.
|
10
|
Neutral 50
|
The NCR's a no-show, and my men and I have got nothing to do but sit on our asses all day. It's damn frustrating.
|

|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic003
|
Tell me about the Powder Gangers.
|
Neutral 50
|
They're a bunch of escaped cons from down south. The NCR was using them to maintain the railways as part of their sentence.
|
12
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't know who screwed up, but the Powder Gangers are loose. It was one group that attacked us and took our entire supply of dynamite.
|

vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic004
|
Have you had problems with Deathclaws before?
|
Neutral 50
|
We'd see them occasionally, but they didn't seem too keen on getting too close to the quarry. Not sure if it was the noise or all the workers.
|
14
|
Neutral 50
|
I can't believe that an entire pack moved into the quarry. I thought that kind of bad luck only happened in New Vegas.
|

|
I could take care of your Deathclaw problem.
|
Neutral 50
|
Have you even seen a Deathclaw? They're taller than a man and far, far stronger and faster. And, there's a whole pack of them out there.
|
16
|
Neutral 50
|
You'd have to be the meanest, toughest, roughest bastard in the wasteland to have any chance against them, and I don't think that's you.
|
17
|
Neutral 50
|
You'd need to take out the pack leaders - the Mother Deathclaw and the Deathclaw Alpha Male. Kill 'em, and the pack will scatter. Pretty tough job.
|
18
|
I could take care of your Deathclaw problem.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't what it is about you, but I think you could actually pull it off. Deathclaws are tough bastards, but you might be even tougher.
|
19
|
Neutral 50
|
Nobody here's any use to you in a fight against Deathclaws, but take these medical supplies. You'll probably need them.
|
20
|
Neutral 50
|
To do the job right, you've got to get rid of the pack leaders - the Mother Deathclaw and the Deathclaw Alpha Male. Should run the rest of 'em off.
|

Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Okay.
|
22
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic007
|
What is this place?
|
Neutral 50
|
This is Sloan, a camp for us quarry workers. The actual quarry, Quarry Junction, is up the road north of here. The whole thing is an NCR operation.
|
23
|
Neutral 50
|
We make cement for the NCR using the limestone we dig out with dynamite and draglines. Dirty work, but the pay's good.
|
24
|
Neutral 50
|
Wish we got paid in caps, though. Not a lot of merchants like taking NCR paper money.
|
25
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic008
|
What does the NCR need with the cement?
|
Neutral 50
|
It all gets shipped by rail over towards Boulder City and Hoover Dam. The NCR's probably building fortifications with it all.
|
26
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic009
|
What's a dragline?
|
Neutral 50
|
It's a big machine which moves rocks around, piles at a time. It's Pre-War tech, so you need to thump it once in awhile to keep it running.
|
27
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic010
|
You don't get paid in caps?
|
Disgust 25
|
Nope. The NCR's been trying to switch over to using paper money, like in the Pre-War days. Trouble is that the exchange rates ain't exactly fair.
|
28
|
Neutral 50
|
For example, a hundred bucks in NCR money is valued at roughly half that in caps around here. Seems like a rotten deal for us, but work is work.

I'm looking for a suitcase filled with chemical supplies for a... friend. Know anything?
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, yes. I think I know which friend you mean. Even if there weren't Deathclaws in the quarry, there'd still be no delivery.
|
30
|
Disgust 50
|
The supplier, a guy in Primm named Tyrone, is a cheating son of a bitch who won't deliver even though he's already been paid in advance.
|

|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Sure.
|
32
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic013
|
I noticed you have a tame molerat.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah, he - or she, I guess - wandered into camp a couple of months back. Seemed friendly enough.
|
33
|
Neutral 50
|
Ugly-looking thing, but the guys like having it around. Good for morale and all that.
|
34
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic014
|
I repaired your generator.
|
Neutral 50
|
It's nice to see things going the way they're supposed to, for a change. I'm going to pay you out of my own pocket for this one.
|
35
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic015
|
I fixed Snuffles' leg.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'd noticed Snuffles limping, but I didn't realize the problem was that serious. Thanks - that beast helps keep spirits up around here.

I killed the Mother Deathclaw.
|
Neutral 50
|
You... you did? That's pretty amazing - I figured you'd need artillery to take her out.
|
37
|
Neutral 50
|
I hate to say it, but as long as the Alpha Male is still alive, that pack isn't going anywhere, even with the Deathclaw Mother out of the picture.
|
38
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic017
|
I killed the Deathclaw Alpha Male.
|
Neutral 50
|
You... you did? That's pretty amazing - I figured you'd need artillery to take him out.
|
39
|
Neutral 50
|
I hate to say it, but as long as the Deathclaw Mother is still alive, that pack isn't going anywhere. She'll take another mate and keep laying eggs.
|

|
I killed the Deathclaw Mother and the Deathclaw Alpha Male.
|
Neutral 50
|
Coming from anyone else, I'd say they were drunk or crazy, but that look in your eyes - I believe you.
|
41
|
Neutral 50
|
I can pay you, but it ain't much for what you pulled off. I'll get on the ham radio first thing and tell people all about you, though.
|
42
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic019
|
You don't care that you're helping the Great Khans?
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm just the middle man. The Great Khans are a hard group, and some of them are no good, but they're not all the same.
|
43
|
Neutral 50
|
I believe in the NCR, but that doesn't make it right for them to roll over anyone who doesn't want any part of 'em.
|
44
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic020
|
Has Tyrone cheated you before?
|
Neutral 50
|
He's always been shady, but this is the first time he's outright screwed me.
|
45
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic021
|
All right. I'll go pay a visit to Tyrone.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good luck.
|
46
|
vFreeformSloanQJChompsLewisTopic022
|
How do you know Melissa?
|
Neutral 50
|
She's my daughter. Takes a little too much after her mother, rest her soul, but she's happy with the Great Khans, and that's enough for me.
