| GREETING | GREETING | Neutral 50 | Pearl sent word saying it's all right to tell you about the Lady in the water. | 1 |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Isn't that bomber a beauty? Thanks so much for making an old man's dreams come true. | 2 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | It's going to be a dream come true once you've raised that bomber from Lake Mead! | 3 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | Good work with those solar arrays. | 4 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | I hope Pearl knows what she's doing, letting you wander around Nellis as you please. | 5 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | What is it, Outsider? | 6 | |
| GREETING | Neutral 50 | {fall-through greeting, friendly} Hello, Outsider, need something? | 7 | |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic000 | You don't need anything blown up? | Neutral 50 | {Amused chuckle} If we need something obliterated, Raquel and the howitzer crews are more than qualified. | 8 |
| Neutral 50 | No, we have more specialized issues we need help with right now. | 9 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic001 | I'm looking for ways to make myself useful. | Neutral 50 | If that's so, how about you look into repairing the solar arrays on the roof of the generator building? | 10 |
| Neutral 50 | Nothing too complicated about it, but it's a long ways to walk my old bones, and there's been that ant problem over near there. | 11 | ||
| Neutral 50 | You can't miss the array. It's on top of the generator building smack dab in the middle of Nellis between the two runways. | 12 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic002 | Raquel said you were working on some kind of weapon to fight the giant ants? | Neutral 50 | I started building a sonic emitter that might do the trick, but it's useless without knowing the exact frequency that would kill the ants. | 13 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic003 <Science check to get emitter> |
Any signal over 22,000 hertz at 150 or more decibels should do the trick. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Hot damn, you're right! It's a matter of boosting across those thresholds, not exact amplitude. You're smarter than you look. | 14 |
| Neutral 50 | Just so happens I was testing it at 24,000 hertz, so it should be good to go. Place it near their nest and cross your fingers. | 15 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Signal's too high for people to hear, so no harm done, but it might make you feel sick to your stomach. | 16 | ||
| Oh. Does it have a dial or something? Turn it up to 11! | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] No, it doesn't have a dial! It has to be stabilized for an exact frequency or it could shake itself apart! | 17 | |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic004 <Speech check to get emitter> |
Think of it as a field test. A trial run. | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] If you're willing to take the risk, be my guest. | 18 |
| Neutral 50 | I've got it set to broadcast a powerful signal at 24,000 hertz. Just place it near their nest and cross your fingers. | 19 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Signal's too high for people to hear, so no harm done, but it might make you feel sick to your stomach. | 20 | ||
| Maybe tilt the... megareceiver? To 73.5 kilonewtons...? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] I don't even know what the hell you're talking about. Sounds like gibberish. | 21 | |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic005 | I think I can handle a few ants without a sonic emitter. | Neutral 50 | I guess you'll have to use hit and run tactics, and go see Doc Argyll if you need patching up. Good luck. | 22 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic006 | Lady in the water? What's that? | Neutral 50 | A long time ago - long before the war that killed just about everything that ever lived - a bomber crashed not far from here. | 23 |
| Neutral 50 | A bomber was a flying contraption that could drop explosives down on anything it flew over. But anyway, moving on... | 24 | ||
| Neutral 50 | This bomber crashed down in Lake Mead, pretty damn near intact. When we got to Nellis, see, I found this article in a magazine all about it. | 25 | ||
| Neutral 50 | There was another B-29 around here, part of a museum. Couldn't fly, but had a lot of spare parts, see? Get where I'm going? | 26 | ||
| Neutral 50 | Since I was a young man, I've dreamed of raising that Lady from the lake and bringing her back to life. What do you say? | 27 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic007 | Where is the bomber located? | Neutral 50 | It's at the bottom of Lake Mead. I'll mark its location on your Pip-boy map. | 28 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic008 | How do you expect to raise a bomber from the bottom of a lake? | Neutral 50 | Simple! Attach deployable ballast to the plane and float it on up! | 29 |
| Neutral 50 | Here is a remote detonator. Once the ballast is attached to the plane just hit the detonator from the shore and let buoyancy handle the rest. | 30 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic009 | Let's talk about something else. | Neutral 50 | All right. What's on your mind? | 31 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic010 | Goodbye. | Neutral 50 | Goodbye. | 32 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic011 | Where is the bomber located? | Neutral 50 | I told you, at the bottom of Lake Mead! I'll make sure the location is displayed on your Pip-boy map. | 33 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic012 | Tell me again what I need to do. | Neutral 50 | I wish you'd paid attention the first time! All you need to do is attach the deployable ballast to the plane. | 34 |
| Neutral 50 | Some of my robots will carry a remote activation station out to the shore. Attach the ballast, hit a button, and they'll handle the rest. | 35 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic013 | Your plan worked. The plane floated up. Seemed to be intact. | Neutral 50 | That's tremendous! I'll transmit instructions to the robots to start packing up the plane to bring it back to Nellis! | 36 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic016 | I repaired the solar arrays and increased their efficiency. | Neutral 50 | An impressive piece of work. I'll keep that in mind if jobs come up in the future. | 37 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic017 | Where should I look for spare parts? | Neutral 50 | Ha! If we had spare parts, do you think I'd be asking you to fix the damn things? That's rich. | 38 |
| Neutral 50 | No, we ran out of spares a while back, and Jack and I have been doing our best to patch the arrays up as best we can. Sadly, we're at our wit's end. | 39 | ||
| Neutral 50 | There have to be spare parts somewhere around the wasteland, but I just don't know where to direct you. You may have noticed we don't get out much. | 40 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic018 | Maybe another time. Goodbye. | Neutral 50 | Did I misunderstand what Pearl said? All right. Goodbye. | 41 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic019 | That sounds really creepy, Loyal. | Neutral 50 | Ain't nothing creepy about it. It's a term of respect! | 42 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic020 | That sounds impossible. | Neutral 50 | I know it does, but I tell you, it ain't! I've worked it out so it's simple! | 43 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic021 | If it's so simple, why haven't you done it? | Neutral 50 | Maybe you don't understand. Hasn't been one of us, not a one, to set a foot outside Nellis in over fifty years. | 44 |
| Neutral 50 | You come along, with your knowledge of the outside, and it seems the time's come to raise the Lady after all. | 45 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic022 | All right. I'm game. | Neutral 50 | Good. Here's the deployable ballast. Go find the plane, attach the ballast, and hit the button! | 46 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic023 | That's just about the stupidest idea I ever heard. | Neutral 50 | No, it's not. It's the smartest idea you ever heard, but you're too stupid to know it! | 47 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic024 | Funny you should mention that, I have array parts right here. | Neutral 50 | Hey, that's great! You shouldn't have much trouble getting those fixed up, then. Just stop back when you're done. | 48 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic025 | Any ideas how to get to the bottom of Lake Mead without drowning? | Neutral 50 | Might try holding your breath. If that doesn't sound good enough, talk to Jack. He was working on a rebreather once. | 49 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic026 | I passed through a place called Helios One. Maybe I could find parts there. | Neutral 50 | Are you talking about that damn bright light we've seen blast off to the south occasionally? I was wondering what the hell that was. | 50 |
| Neutral 50 | If they've got the parts, bring them on back. We need to get the array back up and charging. | 51 | ||
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic027 | I fixed the arrays and improved their efficiency a bit too. | Neutral 50 | Well, how about that! I'll have to check out your handywork. | 52 |
| Neutral 50 | And here I thought we had them running as best we could before they broke down again. Thanks for getting those sorted for me. | 53 | ||
| I repaired the solar arrays. | Neutral 50 | Well, how about that! Turns out you aren't completely useless, working with your hands. | 54 | |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic028 | I'll be back. I've got work to do. | Neutral 50 | Be sure to stop on back and let me know when the arrays are fixed. | 55 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic029 | Can I get a code to use the VR pods in the mess hall? | Neutral 50 | No. Those aren't for outsiders to use. Leave them alone. | 56 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic031 | Okay, I was just curious. | Neutral 50 | Anything else you need? I've got work to do. | 57 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic032 <Speech> |
I'm genuinely interested in your people's history. What are the pods for? | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Well, if you genuinely care so much, they're flight simulators. If you don't know our history yet, you should see Pete and get the tour. | 58 |
| Neutral 50 | We dream to one day rule the skies. | 59 | ||
| I'm genuinely interested in your people's history. What are the pods for? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] Talk to Pete if you're so curious. | 60 | |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic033 | How exactly do you plan to get the plane back here? | Neutral 50 | I just told you, the robots are going to handle it. They'll break the plane down into pieces and move it up from Callville Bay in one shot. | 61 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic034 | Glad to have helped. | Neutral 50 | Hey, I better get rolling. Jack and I have a lot of work ahead of us! | 62 |
| VFreeformNellisNellisLoyalTopic036 <Intelligence> |
Are you planning to use diversionary tactics to draw their attention? | Neutral 50 | [SUCCEEDED] Exactly. We'll be shelling an unoccupied location in Outer Vegas to get their attention elsewhere. | 63 |
| Neutral 50 | By the time they realize they aren't under attack, the plane and the bots will be long gone. | 64 | ||
| Neutral 50 | The kids wish we were shelling a real target, but Pearl thinks it wise to not start up a war just as the lady has risen. | 65 | ||
| But won't that attract the attention of the NCR? | Neutral 50 | [FAILED] We've got that covered. They won't be a problem. | 66 | |
| Neutral 50 | Let's just say they'll be a little distracted for a while. | 67 |
