| - {Grateful} In the meantime, I'll see what I can learn from them.
- {Apologetic / Apologetic} I wish I could, but the rules are pretty strict when it comes to allocating resources.
- {Matter-of-fact / Neutral} Surplus power should translate to increased effeciency and productivity.
- To be fair, this was before she was part of the Institute. In fact, her experience with the Brotherhood was what led her to join us.
- {A bit patronizing, talking to someone you think is wrong} I had a concern about your proposed re-designed for the teleporter.
- Well, she hadn't yet joined the Institute. From what I understand, she didn't have much in the way of a choice.
- {A bit guilty, breaking the rules} Okay, fine. Here you go. Like I said before, though, keep this between us.
- {A little bit patronizing... trying to talk sense into a hothead} Well, it's a little bit radical, to be honest.
- {Skeptical / Neutral} Father has always been a little... unpredictable. I suppose his choice of a successor shouldn't surprise me.
- {Grateful / Grateful} Well, I definitely appreciate it. I'm sure these plans will be a great help.
- {Firm, all business} In case anyone didn't mention it, quiet time runs from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- {Wondering why the player has stopped talking.} Something wrong?
- {Friendly. / Friendly} Once you've acclimated to your new role, we should meet to discuss policy updates.
- {A bit guilty, breaking the rules} Well, I guess I could give you you these.
- {A sad but fond reminiscence. Father just passed away. / Sad} Father and I used to have long talks every week over dinner. I'm going to miss those conversations.
- {amused, laughing} Seriously? No, this is it. Don't worry, it's going to work.
- {hesitant} Excuse me, but sir... Are you sure this is, well, the proper time to be discussing that?
- {Uncertain, but hopeful / Neutral} As long as you respect our rules and policies, you might just succeed as our next director.
- Yeah. It was successful enough that they brought it with them; you can guess, I think, who they plan on using it on next.
- Doctor Filmore, did you get the requests I sent over?
- {Grateful, friendly / Grateful} I really appreciate your help with this.
- I know, I know. But we need to move quickly on this.
- {Enthusiastic / Friendly} Great! I'm eager to see what else we can learn.
- {Stoic, resolute, convinced you're right} We're well within approved operating parameters. I checked.
- Doctor Orman has done most of the hands-on work, so I'll let her explain the basics to you.
- {Firm, all business} Rushed work is sloppy at best and deadly at worst.
- Liberty Prime was a pre-war experiment by the military. The Brotherhood found it when they moved to the Capital Wasteland.
- I doubt her rules were a matter of life and death.
- I suppose we should get moving.
- I'm fairly certain, yes.
- Just finished up an hour ago, so yes.
- All right. Good luck; I'll send word that you're on your way up.
- Let's go, Rosalind. Shaun says it's time.
- Not nearly enough, if you ask me.
- Oh. Well, I guess it's been coming.
- Okay, fine. Relax.
- Right, sure.
- Rules create order, and order promotes efficiency.
- Are you referring to something in particular? Has something happened?
- They never could get it up and running... until they got help from Doctor Li.
- Take care, then.
- {Measured... broaching a subject where you disagree} I was looking over your testing plan for the plasma pistol upgrades.
- Yes, I believe so. It should be available now.
- Look, it's not just for your sake. If you're careless, other people could get hurt.
- The Railroad won't suddenly decide to stop bothering us, and we all know why the Brotherhood is even in the Commonwealth to begin with.
- With our reactor online, once the field is down we can throw everything we've got at them. And believe me, we will.
- If you've got any questions, this is where you ought to ask. If not, they're probably ready for you upstairs in the Relay room.
- {Eager} I'd still love to get my hands on more of those Brotherhood blueprints. You said you were busy before, but how about now?
- {Matter-of-fact / Neutral} We'll need to update our safety procedures for the new reactor.
- {Apologetic} Little busy right now.
- {Apologetic} Oh, okay. Never mind, then.
- {Apologetic} Sorry to bother you, then.
- {Defensive} We're not violating any protocols.
- {Enthusiastic / Friendly} Great!
- {Firm, all business} Safety first. Remember that.
- {Grateful / Friendly} I'm glad to hear it.
- {Hopeful} If things open up for you, let me know.
- {Hopeful} Should I take that as a yes?
- {Placating} That's all I'm asking.
- {Satisfied / Friendly} Good enough for me.
- {pleasant} Did you need something?
- {slightly confused, dismissive} Okay...
- I've heard that before. I've also seen scientists get too cavalier with protocols and end up dead.
- Fail to follow protocols in one of our labs, and you could end up with a serious injury... or worse.
- A woman who understands the need for discipline will be a valuable addition here.
- {Friendly, eager / Question} You make a lot of trips to the surface, right? Maybe you can help me out with something.
- {A bit patronizing} Since you're new here, you should take time to learn our safety procedures, and the sooner the better.
- {Admiration} We've got a lead on a small Brotherhood salvage team. That's a good place to start.
- {Enthusiastic / Friendly} Great! I can't wait to get a look at them.
- {Grateful, appreciative / Friendly} I guess you took a pretty big risk to bring me these. I hope I wasn't asking too much of you.
- {Eager} I'd love to get my hands on one of those Brotherhood vertibirds someday.
- {Trying to be persuasive} Probably, but it'll be well worth it. What do you say?
- Designed the power system for it. Small, but powerful enough to get the thing moving. And shooting. And apparently, throwing bombs.
- {Impressed / Friendly} No kidding? I guess you've seen a lot of action, then.
- {Grateful, then eager} Those blueprints you brought me were fascinating. Any chance you could find more of them?
- It only takes one mistake, one lapse. Remember that.
- Now, Doctor Li had access to everything on Liberty Prime. I mean everything. While we don't have it all written down, we've got enough.
- I had some handbooks made up, but that was years ago. I'll see about getting one to you.
- {Friendly} The best place to start would be to study their design schematics, assuming you can get your hands on some.
- A man who understands the need for discipline will be a valuable addition here.
- Let's just spit it out, shall we? The Directorate has decided that the Brotherhood of Steel need to be eliminated.
- {Concerned} He's a good kid, but I'd appreciate it if he didn't bother you at work. We don't need anymore distractions.
- {Friendly} The Brotherhood of Steel has developed some impressive technology, and I think we could learn some things from them.
- {Placating} Of course not. But, you know, if the opportunity presents itself, maybe keep an eye out.
- {Admiration} The Brotherhood has some top-notch engineers. We stand to learn a lot from their work.
- {hesitant} Considering... I mean, given all parties present?
- Just a few thousand pages, but I like to think it's a brisk read. I certainly find it so.
- {Concerned, cautionary / Concerned} That's what I thought.
- {Genuine concern} Those Brotherhood of Steel guys are pretty tough. Be careful out there.
- {Thinking aloud} They probably keep them in a safe place, like a chest or locker. I'd expect guards, as well.
- We know what it can do, and we know how to take advantage of that.
- {Lecturing} I'm not sure your proposed safety protocols are going to be sufficient.
- {Curious / Question} I saw you speaking with that Brendan Volkert earlier. What did he want?
- {A bit guilty, breaking the rules} Just keep this between us, okay? I'm not really supposed to be handing out fusion cells.
