15 | MS17_400_Chambers | | {Irritated / Depressed} And here you are. | DoctorChambers: You've cut a bloody path through my people. You've no doubt seen our work. But you do not possess all the facts. | A |
16 | DoctorChambers: But most importantly it is our one chance to end this age of paranoia. | {This is distasteful - but she will compromise just this far} I will make you a deal. I pay you handsomely. And you let me dispose of our last remaining synth test subject, Amelia Stockton. Then I can continue my work. | HonestDan: I've had my fill of crazy on this contract. No deal. | A1a |
17 | DoctorChambers: But most importantly it is our one chance to end this age of paranoia. | {This is distasteful - but she will compromise just this far} I will make you a deal. If you let me dispose of Stockton's synth and continue our work I'll match whatever reward you were offered. | HonestDan: I've had my fill of crazy on this contract. No deal. | A2a |
18 | NPCFRoslynChambers: And here you are. | {Contained fury at the player's actions, knows her torture could be misinterpreted by simple minds / Angry} You've cut a bloody path through my people. You've no doubt seen our work. But you do not possess all the facts. | Player Default: I'll give you a fair hearing. | A1a |
19 | NPCFRoslynChambers: And here you are. | {Angry} My life's work on the verge of ruin all because of your efforts to find Stockton's supposed daughter. | | A2a |
20 | | {Disgusted - assumes the player is an idiot / Irritated} You do know she's most likely a synth, yes? If you are more than a hired gun, perhaps we can stop this before it's too late. | Player Default: I'll give you a fair hearing. | A2b |
21 | Player Default: I'll give you a fair hearing. | {Razor sarcasm / Irritated} How considerate. | DoctorChambers: What would you do if your family was destroyed by a synth, right in front of you, when you were but a child? | A1a |
22 | Player Default: There's nothing you can say that can excuse what I've seen here. | {Angry Fervent / Irritated} Everything we've done has been to stop the suffering of more innocents at the hands of the Institute and their synth menace. | DoctorChambers: Covenant is many things. A refuge for the broken people left in the wake of the Institute's rampages. A place of safety and healing. | B1a |
23 | Player Default: What facts? | {Sharp} Some background is required to fully answer that. | DoctorChambers: What would you do if your family was destroyed by a synth, right in front of you, when you were but a child? | Y1a |
24 | Player Default: What facts? | {No empathy} Why else do you think we attacked her caravan? After testing, we have well over a seventy percent confidence level of our initial diagnosis. | | Y2a |
25 | | {Matter-of-fact} I'd have to perform an autopsy to be sure. | Player Default: I'll give you a fair hearing. | Y2b |
26 | Player Default: How considerate. | {Accusatory / Angry} What would you do if your family was destroyed by a synth, right in front of you, when you were but a child? | | A1a |
27 | | {Disgusted at the thought at giving up, heated at the end / Angry} Would you roll over and accept it? Or would you do something about it? | Player Default: I've been there. But I haven't resorted to torturing innocents. | A1b |
28 | Player Default: I've been there. But I haven't resorted to torturing innocents. | {Conviction!} Casualties are inevitable. It may not look like it but we're at war. | DoctorChambers: As long as the Institute walks invisibly amongst us, they strike without warning and control us from the shadows. | A1a |
29 | Player Default: I'd make them pay. | {A hint of surprise, conviction} Then you do understand. It may not look like it but there's a war being fought. | DoctorChambers: As long as the Institute walks invisibly amongst us, they strike without warning and control us from the shadows. | B1a |
30 | Player Default: It sounds like you didn't let it go. | {Proud, conviction} No, I did not. It may not look like it but there's a war being fought. | DoctorChambers: As long as the Institute walks invisibly amongst us, they strike without warning and control us from the shadows. | X1a |
31 | Player Default: What happened to you? | {A far away traumatic memory / Sad} In Diamond City, a lifetime ago, my parents and eight others were massacred by someone. At first we thought the maniac was human. | | Y1a |
32 | | {Steely conviction} But that was the day we learned of the Institute's latest creations. The synths. | DoctorChambers: As long as the Institute walks invisibly amongst us, they strike without warning and control us from the shadows. | Y1b |
33 | Player Default: You can't seriously want to kill all the synths... | {Conviction} We most certainly do. But we have to find them first. | DoctorChambers: A living synth is indistinguishable from a human by any medical test yet devised. | A1a |
34 | Player Default: Someone needs to destroy the Institute. | {Grudgingly pleased} A perfectly rational response. | DoctorChambers: A living synth is indistinguishable from a human by any medical test yet devised. | B1a |
35 | Player Default: Who really knows what the Institute is responsible for. | {Scientist} And how do they manage to keep us in the dark? | DoctorChambers: A living synth is indistinguishable from a human by any medical test yet devised. | X1a |
36 | Player Default: A war, really? Is it that bad? | {Biting back even more anger} Hundreds of kidnappings over the years. Ask the survivors if it's really "that bad". | | Y1a |
37 | | {She has more evidence, but she doesn't deign to share it} And there're so many other tragedies that may be their responsibility, as well. | Player Default: You can't seriously want to kill all the synths... | Y1b |
38 | Player Default: Casualties are inevitable. It may not look like it but we're at war. | {Contained anger} As long as the Institute walks invisibly amongst us, they strike without warning and control us from the shadows. | | A1a |
39 | | {Proud, zealot} I've dedicated my life to devising a test to detect these hidden synths. To root them out, so they can be extinguished. | | A1b |
40 | | {Full of her zealot conviction / Defiant} Isn't that a goal worth fighting for? | Player Default: You can't seriously want to kill all the synths... | A1c |
41 | Player Default: We most certainly do. But we have to find them first. | {Describing the problem she's been trying to solve her whole life} A living synth is indistinguishable from a human by any medical test yet devised. | | A1a |
42 | | {But sharing her epiphany, proud} But, it turns out, psychology can detect a difference. Enter the SAFE test. | | A1b |
43 | | {Conviction!} The test is in its infancy, but through sacrifice and perseverance our success rate is improving. | Player Default: But your methods are barbaric. It's torture. | A1c |
44 | Player Default: But your methods are barbaric. It's torture. | {Barely distasteful at all, full of conviction} To improve the SAFE test intense psychological pressure must be applied to our test subjects. It is distasteful but necessary. | DoctorChambers: Covenant is many things. A refuge for the broken people left in the wake of the Institute's rampages. A place of safety and healing. | A1a |
45 | Player Default: If you can get that test to work, that could be a game changer. | {Pleased the player shares her conviction in some part} And then everything we've done will be justified. | DoctorChambers: Covenant is many things. A refuge for the broken people left in the wake of the Institute's rampages. A place of safety and healing. | B1a |
46 | Player Default: It sounds like your test may not even work. | {Defensive, decisive rebuttal - she has the science to back up her claims} There is a correlation. We've measured it. We just need more data, more test subjects, to narrow it down. | DoctorChambers: Covenant is many things. A refuge for the broken people left in the wake of the Institute's rampages. A place of safety and healing. | X1a |
47 | Player Default: And the SAFE test works? | {Pleased} Oh, yes. Autopsies confirm the test is getting more accurate. | | Y1a |
48 | | {Sharp analytic mind relating} There's something in the questions which provokes a response from synths. But the exact trigger is elusive. | | Y1b |
49 | | {Grudging admission, but sharing the dream at the end} The margin of error is admittedly high, four or five false positives per synth. But one day we hope to get it to one or two false positives. | Player Default: But your methods are barbaric. It's torture. | Y1c |
50 | Player Default: To improve the SAFE test intense psychological pressure must be applied to our test subjects. It is distasteful but necessary. | {Sharing her own perceived nobility} Covenant is many things. A refuge for the broken people left in the wake of the Institute's rampages. A place of safety and healing. | | A1a |
51 | | {But sharing the VISION} But most importantly it is our one chance to end this age of paranoia. | DoctorChambers: I will make you a deal. I pay you handsomely. And you let me dispose of our last remaining synth test subject, Amelia Stockton. Then I can continue my work. | A1b |
52 | HonestDan: I wish you hadn't said that. | {Very pleased / Friendly} Excellent. | | A1a |
53 | Player Default: That's a deal I won't accept. | {She's not going to attack her, she's prepared to be executed and will not give the PC the satisfaction of begging in any way / Somber} Then you'll just have to kill me. | | B1a |
54 | Player Default: Don't kill the girl. Spare her. | {Absolute denial} Impossible. The odds are too great she's an Institute infiltrator. | | X1a |
55 | | {Barely unsteady, but conviction swallows it} Even if she is an unfortunate victim in this war, sparing her can compromise everything. | Player Default: Continue your work, then. | X1b |
56 | Player Default: Are you threatening me, Dan? | {Real compassion here - a stern mother still loves her children} Over the years, we've recruited like-minded individuals. All of our lives shattered by the Institute. | | Y1a |
57 | | {But no more compassion - conviction! Dismissive of the "some"} Covenant is primarily about administering and refining the SAFE test. But some consider the humanitarian side equally as important. | | Y1b |
58 | | {She's the hero and the player could do untold evil here} If you destroy what's left here, their lives will be upended again. | Player Default: Continue your work, then. | Y1c |
59 | HonestDan: I've had my fill of crazy on this contract. No deal. | {Snide / Irritated} Fortunate for me, I wasn't talking to you. | HonestDan: You side with this nut job and we're going to have a serious, deadly, problem. | A1a |
60 | MS17_400a_ChambersPeaceful | | {Considering the player} So the one investigating Stockton's caravan has arrived. Do you even know that his supposed daughter is in all likelihood a synth? | DoctorChambers: No matter. Let me be up front about this. There are two ways this meeting can end. We come to an agreement or there's violence. | A |
61 | Player Default: As would I. | {About to get to the thick of it} Let me pose a question to you. | DoctorChambers: What would you do if your family was destroyed by a synth, right in front of you, when you were but a child? | A1a |
62 | NPCFRoslynChambers: So the one investigating Stockton's caravan has arrived. Do you even know that his supposed daughter is in all likelihood a synth? | {Firm} No matter. Let me be up front about this. There are two ways this meeting can end. We come to an agreement or there's violence. | Player Default: I'd prefer a peaceful solution. | A1a |
63 | Player Default: I'd prefer a peaceful solution. | {Seems sincere} As would I. | DoctorChambers: Let me pose a question to you. | A1a |
64 | Player Default: You really don't want to start a fight with me. | {Confident her men could do it though} Agreed. Killing you would be a costly proposition. | DoctorChambers: Let me pose a question to you. | B1a |
65 | Player Default: Stockton's daughter is a synth? | {No empathy for the people she killed. Complete scientific certainty} Why else do you think we attacked her caravan? She has well over a seventy percent chance of being a synth. | | X1a |
66 | | {Looking forward to it} I'd have to perform an autopsy to be sure. | DoctorChambers: Let me pose a question to you. | X1b |
67 | Player Default: There're no other options? | {A hint of regret} Too much is at stake to allow you to simply leave. | DoctorChambers: Let me pose a question to you. | Y1a |
68 | MS17_400b_ChambersPeacefulEnding | | {Firm} Let us continue our work and we will pay you the bounty you would be giving up. But we keep Stockton's synth. | HonestDan: Like hell I will. I made a deal with Old Man Stockton. And I plan on making good. | A1a |
69 | HonestDan: Like hell I will. I made a deal with Old Man Stockton. And I plan on making good. | {Disdain towards Dan / Irritated} Does Mr. Dan speak for you, as well? Or are you willing to listen to reason? | Player Default: I'll take the deal. | A1a |
70 | HonestDan: I wish you hadn't said that. | {Almost friendly} Excellent. You'll find that Covenant has more to offer since we've come to this understanding. Goodbye. | | A1a |
71 | Player Default: I'm not interested in your deal. | {Irritated, then orders her men to kill the PC / Irritated} Pity. Since we can't come to an agreement. Men. | | B1a |
72 | Player Default: You have to stop torturing and killing synths and humans. | {She clearly will never change her mind} We've come too far to change course, even if we wanted to. | Player Default: I'll take the deal. | X1a |
73 | Player Default: Stockton's synth? | {Sharp, irritated} Why do you think we attacked her caravan? She has well over a ninety percent chance of being a synth. | | Y1a |
74 | | {Sharp} I'd have to perform an autopsy to be sure. So do we have a deal? | Player Default: I'll take the deal. | Y1b |
75 | MS17_400c_ChambersKillsAmelia | | {Grim} What a distasteful business. | DoctorChambers: First, the loose end. | A1a |
76 | DoctorChambers: What a distasteful business. | {Talking about killing someone, clinical} First, the loose end. | AmeliaStockton: What? What are you doing. | A1a |
77 | AmeliaStockton: What? What are you doing. | {To herself, distracted} I'm certain the autopsy will confirm my hypothesis. | AmeliaStockton: No! | A1a |
78 | AmeliaStockton: No! | {Tired} There. | DoctorChambers: As promised. | A1a |
79 | DoctorChambers: There. | As promised. | DoctorChambers: You'll find Covenant has a lot more to offer since we've come... to this understanding. | A1a |
80 | MS17_400d_ImpatientChambersEnd | NPCFRoslynChambers: As promised. | {Solemn} You'll find Covenant has a lot more to offer since we've come... to this understanding. | | A1a |
81 | - | | {Sharp} Why are you here? You don't seem to be with the Institute. | | |
82 | | {Sharp} So do we have a deal or not? | | |
83 | | {Irritated} Are you being silent for a reason? | | |
84 | | {Irritated} I'm ready to proceed if you are. | | |
