GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Took your sweet time. I suppose the NCR sent you?
|
1
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Not now! I've got to get up to the lab and finish what I started!
|
2
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
This Vault-Tech machinery is so fragile. I had to jury-rig this elevator a few days ago and it's on the fritz again already.
|
3
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, that's got it. See you upstairs.
|
4
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Hm, what's this? Did you do these repairs? Not bad. Not bad at all.
|
5
|
Neutral 50
|
Saves me time, I guess. See you upstairs.
|
6
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Good, you're here. Ready to begin?
|
7
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
I suppose you have questions. Hurry up and ask them.
|
8
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, good. You survived. I was beginning to think you hadn't. You'll be pleased to know that the spores should no longer be a problem.
|
9
|
Neutral 50
|
Now all that's left is to ensure that none of this ever happens again. The research that led to these abominations must be erased.
|
10
|
GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't mind me. I have to wrap things up here, gather my gear, that sort of thing. I'll be leaving soon enough.
|
11
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic000
|
We can talk later. Right now we need to get out of here.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right, all right. Just trying to make a little conversation. Shoulda known a youngin like you would be in a hurry.
|
12
|
We can talk later. Right now we need to get out of here.
|
Neutral 50
|
But that's neither here nor there. These plants have gotten completely out of control. I've got a plan to deal with them, but I'll need your help.
|
13
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic001
|
No, I was just exploring the vault when I stumbled on this place.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well that's a hell of a bit of luck on my part, then.
|
14
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic002
|
I was sent to fetch some research data. No one said anything about a rescue.
|
Neutral 50
|
Looks like you got sent on the same fool's errand I did, then.
|
15
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic003
|
Of course. I'd be glad to help.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. Meet me on the second level, and I'll explain what needs to be done.
|
16
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic004
|
How much are you paying?
|
Neutral 50
|
So you're one of those, huh? Fine, I'll give you all the money I have once we're done. Meet me on the second level, and I'll explain more.
|
17
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic005
|
No deal. You'll have to do it without me.
|
Neutral 50
|
Have it your way. When you change your mind, I'll be on the second level. Meet me there and I'll explain what needs to be done.
|
18
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic006
|
Sure, how can I help?
|
Neutral 50
|
Time is of the essence, so I'll be brief. This place is filled with spores that are toxic to humans, and we need to get rid of them.
|
19
|
Neutral 50
|
I've pumped the vault full of a highly flammable gas that, once ignited, should destroy the vast majority of the spores. There's one problem, though.
|
20
|
Neutral 50
|
The gas becomes semi-inert on exposure to oxygen, meaning the gas will have to be ignited close to where it's being introduced.
|
21
|
Neutral 50
|
I need you to find the vents where the gas is being pumped and ignite it. Oh, and survive the resulting blast.
|
22
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic007
|
Just as long as I'm getting paid for this.
|
Neutral 50
|
You really have a one track mind, you know that? Anyway, listen up.
|
23
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic008
|
The hell I am. The door to the entrance is locked!
|
Neutral 50
|
Of course it is. This place is under quarantine until I finish what I started. Now listen up.
|
24
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic009
|
I told you. I'm not helping you.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't think you understand the situation. Listen up.
|
25
|
Neutral 50
|
This place is now locked down under quarantine, so neither of us is leaving until the situation at hand is dealt with.
|
26
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic010
|
Sounds dangerous, but I'll do it.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. Return to me when it's done.
|
27
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic011
|
You're out of your mind.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'd love to debate you on this, but there's no time. Now do it or don't, but stop wasting my time.
|
28
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic012
|
Any idea where these vents are that I'm looking for?
|
Neutral 50
|
I set the gas to pump into the fifth level since that's where the concentration of spores was highest. I'd start looking there.
|
29
|
Neutral 50
|
Typically, these vaults use circular vents in their air circulation systems. Look for a wall with two of them almost side by side.
|
30
|
Neutral 50
|
There's one just around the corner outside this lab if you need an example.
|
31
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic013
|
What needs to be done?
|
Neutral 50
|
I've managed to create a connection to the vault's backup system from here. I just have to remotely delete all the files, and we're done here.
|
32
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic014
|
Wait! Don't delete the files!
|
Neutral 50
|
What's got you so flustered? You just about scared me to death shouting like that.
|
33
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic015
|
I need those files. Dr. Hildern specifically sent me here to find them.
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't you realize what those files represent? If they get into the wrong hands, this could happen all over again.
|
34
|
Neutral 50
|
Only this time, the madness won't just be confined to a musty vault. Do you really want that on your conscience? I sure as hell don't.
|
35
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic016
|
If we destroy the files, all of these people will have died in vain.
|
Neutral 50
|
No, these people died trying to stop a monster of their own creation. Failing to complete their work would mean they died in vain.
|
36
|
Neutral 50
|
And that's what I intend to do. And...
|
37
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic017 { Science >= 70 }
|
Deleting those files makes it more likely that this will happen again.
|
Neutral 50
|
How do you figure that?
|
38
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic018
|
Science isn't just about success. Failures are just as important to learn from.
|
Neutral 50
|
I suppose the data here could serve as a warning to other scientists. Tell them what paths of research not to follow.
|
39
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic019
|
Exactly. Without that knowledge, something similar is bound to occur.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right. You convinced me. Take the files back to that buffoon. You make a good point, but I still honestly hope you know what you're doing.
|
40
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic020
|
Will it take long?
|
Neutral 50
|
No, it shouldn't take all that long. Just a few more moments and...
|
41
|
Will it take long?
|
Neutral 50
|
...it's done. We can rest easy.
|
42
|
Will it take long?
|
Neutral 50
|
...that's strange. The system says that the files were accessed recently, and copied to an external source.
|
43
|
Neutral 50
|
You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?
|
44
|
Will it take long?
|
Neutral 50
|
I've unlocked the door so you're free to run along now. Although it pains me to say it, I wouldn't have made it out of here without your help.
|
45
|
Will it take long?
|
Neutral 50
|
If you're heading back toward McCarran, tell Dr. Williams that she has my thanks as well.
|
46
|
Will it take long?
|
Neutral 50
|
If you're in the neighborhood of Camp McCarran anytime soon, look for a Dr. Williams. She was one of the few people there I could tolerate.
|
47
|
Neutral 50
|
She seemed genuinely worried when I agreed to come out here, so if you could be a dear and let her know I'm okay, I'd be most grateful.
|
48
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic021
|
Actually, I copied the files. Hildern sent me here to get them.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, that sounds like something he'd do. Well, there's nothing for it, then.
|
49
|
Neutral 50
|
Those files need to be erased. Hold out your arm and I'll have it done in a flash.
|
50
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic022
|
I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
|
Neutral 50
|
So you're going to be stubborn about it, eh? You're sure I can't change your mind about this?
|
51
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic023
|
Positive.
|
Neutral 50
|
Then you give me no choice.
|
52
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic024
|
On second thought, go ahead and erase the data.
|
Neutral 50
|
Glad you're thinking clearly. I was afraid to blink there for a second.
|
53
|
Neutral 50
|
There, all done. That wasn't so bad, was it?
|
54
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic025
|
Good riddance. Those files have caused enough trouble.
|
Neutral 50
|
Indeed. This should only take a minute. Just a few more moments and...
|
55
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic026
|
<Lie> No, I've been too busy rescuing you. Could someone else have done it?
|
Neutral 50
|
It's possible. I have spent the last few days in a cave, after all.
|
56
|
Neutral 50
|
For all we know, that man sent someone immediately after you to swipe the data while you posed as mantis bait.
|
57
|
Neutral 50
|
Nothing to be done about it, I suppose. All we can do is delete what's here, and that's done.
|
58
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic027
|
Never mind. Go ahead and delete the files.
|
Neutral 50
|
You're pretty highstrung for a youngster. In any case, just a few more moments and...
|
59
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic028
|
No, should they have?
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, if they had any manners they would. In my day, if an old lady went missing for a spell, people cared.
|
60
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic029
|
The scientists here must have made some useful discoveries.
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, they did. I've taken extensive notes of all their successful experiments. Their research won't go to waste. As for the file erasure...
|
61
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic030
|
Yes, Angela Williams asked me to come find you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, she's such a dear. Not like that pompous little pedant she works for.
|
62
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic031
|
No questions right now. I'll be going.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well in that case, leave me to my work.
|
63
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic032
|
How exactly should I ignite the gas?
|
Neutral 50
|
In the area where the gas is active, any kind of fire or explosion should do the trick. Hell, even lasers would do the job.
|
64
|
Neutral 50
|
If you don't have anything like that, I've got some grenades in my bag in the corner that you can use.
|
65
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic033
|
Did you say there'd be a blast?
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh yes, I imagine there'll be quite an explosion when the gas gets set off. Fire will probably expand throughout the entire level in mere moments.
|
66
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic034
|
How am I supposed to survive that?
|
Neutral 50
|
That does pose a problem, doesn't it?
|
67
|
How am I supposed to survive that?
|
Neutral 50
|
If you could seal yourself inside a room before the explosion went off, you might be protected from the blast.
|
68
|
Neutral 50
|
Then again, the flames will probably blow into the rooms down there. Maybe if there were a room that was reinforced...
|
69
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, I'm sure you'll figure something out.
|
70
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic035
|
Blast?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, there'll be an explosion when the gas is ignited. But I'm sure you'll be fine. Now leave me to my work.
|
71
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic036
|
Has your research here turned up anything interesting?
|
Neutral 50
|
A few things here and there, but a lot of the data has been corrupted, and all of the live samples have been contaminated by the spore plants.
|
72
|
Neutral 50
|
One interesting thing I found is that one of the chemicals secreted by the spore plants serves as a mild stimulant when ingested by humans.
|
73
|
Neutral 50
|
As far as I can tell, it has no side effects or addictive properties, aside from the inherent psychological ones, of course.
|
74
|
Neutral 50
|
Now that I think of it, there was a Cpl. Farber back at McCarran who'd probably be interested in it. There's a sample of it around here somewhere. {Cpl. = Corporal}
|
75
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic037
|
And?
|
Neutral 50
|
What? Do I have to figure everything out for you? Fine, let me think for a second.
|
76
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic038
|
No way. I'm not going to torch myself for your amusement.
|
Neutral 50
|
It would be pretty funny, wouldn't it? Oh, don't look at me that way. I'm sure you'll be fine.
|
77
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic039
|
Where did these plants come from?
|
Neutral 50
|
From what I've been able to determine, the scientists here managed to breed them by combining traits from two distinct plant species.
|
78
|
Neutral 50
|
The resulting hybrid proved more adaptable than expected, however, and soon became a threat to humans.
|
79
|
Neutral 50
|
It's sad, really. All those wonderful minds, undone by their own irresponsibility.
|
80
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic040
|
How did you get this whole gas thing set up so quickly?
|
Neutral 50
|
That's a very good question! Actually, I didn't come up with it. The systems were already set up to pump the gas when I first arrived here.
|
81
|
Neutral 50
|
I believe the scientists were in the process of attempting to ignite the gas just as we're about to do. And by we, I mean you, of course.
|
82
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic041
|
What happened to the scientists, then?
|
Neutral 50
|
Something prevented them from igniting the gas, obviously. I suppose it's possible that the gas triggered some kind of defensive reaction.
|
83
|
Neutral 50
|
Hordes of previously slumbering creatures may have awoken and entered a killing frenzy, ripping the hapless scientists into quivering, bloody chunks.
|
84
|
Neutral 50
|
You'll have to let me know when you get back from going downstairs.
|
85
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic042
|
What were you doing down in that cave?
|
Neutral 50
|
The mantises and spore plants virtually ignored me for most of the time that I've been here.
|
86
|
Neutral 50
|
It was only once I began to investigate the fifth level that my presence began to agitate them. I guess I was a little too close to home for them.
|
87
|
Neutral 50
|
A few days ago, I was attacked by a large number of mantises and was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in that cave.
|
88
|
Neutral 50
|
The mantises seem to feed some of their prey to the plants. Fortunately for me, it appears the plants are disinclined to eat ghoul meat.
|
89
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic043
|
Why is the door to the entrance locked?
|
Neutral 50
|
Are you kidding me? This place is under quarantine! We can't let a single spore get out of this place if we can help it.
|
90
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic044
|
That data is valuable to me.
|
Neutral 50
|
What do you mean?
|
91
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic045
|
Do you know how many caps I can get for it?
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, I should have known. Well, in that case...
|
92
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic046
|
In the right hands, it could do a lot of good. I'll see it gets there.
|
Neutral 50
|
I suppose you've given me no reason not to trust you. Fine, take the data and go. I hope you know what you're doing.
|
93
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic047
|
I did download some files earlier while exploring the vault.
|
Neutral 50
|
Those files need to be erased. Hold out your arm and I'll have it done in a flash.
|
94
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic049
|
Are these files valuable?
|
Neutral 50
|
To someone, I'm sure. But they constitute a threat to life as we know it. Now give me your arm already.
|
95
|
VFreeformVault22KeelyTopic050
|
My friend is part of a group that can develop it into something safe everyone can benefit from.
|
Neutral 50
|
I suppose you've given me no reason not to trust you. Fine, take the data and go. I hope you know what you're doing.
