;Dialog file ; ;This file is currently only used for the tavern dialog, but will soon include ;other dialogs (talking to friendly monsters, etc) :1 #Defs Sacre !Howdy there. Name's Defs Sacre. I used to be a warrior, but now I've retired !and serve as bartender here at the base. I know lots about monsters, armor, !weapons, etc. What you want to know about? *NAME +Name's Defs Sacre, like I said. *JOB +I'm just bartender here. I used to be a wasteland warrior, but I've long +since retired. I know about lots of things though. *DEATH +Ah yes, the Death Warriors. They're a nasty bunch. Rumor has it they have +a city down on level three or four. I've known a couple of guys who tried +to get inside, but they never returned. Seems to me the only way to get in +would be to find some way to trick them into thinking you were one of them. *WEAPON +I know lots about weapons. What do you want to know about? SHORT RANGE or +LONG RANGE weapons? I also have used some GRENADES in my time. *SHORT RANGE +There are lots of short range weapons. My favorite is the Slicer-Dicer. They +don't sell them around here - I found it on some kinda robot down on level +three. Hell of a battle getting the thing. *LONG RANGE +I prefer to use a gravblaster. The ammo for em is damn expensive, but they +really trash whoever you're fighting. *GRENADE +Grenades are one of my favorites. Since the explosion is so large, you have +a much better chance of hitting something that you have with a ranged weapon. +Back in my fightin' days, I used to carry around a grenade pack or two. +Run into somnething nasty like a terminator, you can throw a grenade at it +and get a guarenteed hit before the hand-to-hand starts. Real nice. *BBS +The only BBS I've ever heard of is the Not-Yet-Named bbs. *Not-Yet-Named +The Not-Yet-Named bbs? I heard it was quite a place before the war. The +number was 602-577-3650. *ARMOR +There are lot's of enhanced armor types in the lower levels of the wasteland. +I picked up something pretty cool once that the techs here called "Energy +armor". Got it off a dead Death Warrior Leader. *MONSTER +The wasteland is populated by many different creatures. Most of the ones on +the upper level are pretty wimpy and some are even unarmed. But once you +go below, things get real nasty real quick. What monster do you want to know +about? *RAD HOUND +Come on man, you should be able to take a rad hound easy. They're just a +beast - no real intelligence to them whatsoever. *VALLEY GIRL +Bunch of em came over from california before the earthquake. They're not hard +to beat, but they are a neusence. They're all over level one. *DEATH +Ah yes, the Death Warriors. They're a nasty bunch. Rumor has it they have +a city down on level three or four. I've known a couple of guys who tried +to get inside, but they never returned. Seems to me the only way to get in +would be to find some way to trick them into thinking you were one of them. *INSANE +Yeah, it's pretty sad - some of our guys just can take the pressure out there. +They go completely mad. Nasty thing is, they have all of our training and +equipment on them. Make's em tough to fight. *DROID +There are many different types of droids on levels two and below. Most of +them are simple machines, but some like the terminators are cyborgs. Most +droids using some kind of iron or steel plating armor. Stuff's useless for +me and you though - too heavy. *TERMINATOR +The terminators are pretty nasty. Most people think they're simply machines, +but theres a human brain inside em that does the thinking. I know cause I +bashed ones head open once. The terminator's real strength is it's armor - +It's got G-4 steel plating. Stuff's too heavy for humans to use, but most +places will buy it up for a decent price - it's hard to find good quality +steel these days. *WIDOW +The Black Widows? I've heard some talk of a new gang down in the lower levels +called the black widows. They're supposedly pretty nasty. Theyve got their +own enhanced weapons and armor - WidowLance, Widow Armor, etc. Their +weapons use some kind of enhanced energy pack called a "WidowPack". Don't +know of any stores that sell the WidowPacks - If you want to use any widow +weapons, you'll have to locate your own ammo. -Whatever you say, dude.... @Later, dude. Hope to see you again in one piece. :2 #Jeffrey !Hi there! My names Jeffrey. Just got back from the wasteland this morning. !I took out three terminators with my bare hands.... And that was while I !was blindfolded!!! So, whats up? *JOB +I'm a trainee here. But actually, I am the best warrior here at the base. It's +a secret, ya know... *NAME +They call me Jeffrey. Don't know my last name - my parents were killed by +death commandos when I was very young. I got my revenge though - killed fifty +of them just last week. *TERMINATOR +The Terminator is a pretty wimpy machine. At least for me... It might be a +bit more difficult for someone less skilled like yourself. *RECRUIT +I'm not a recruit - they just think I am. Beaurocratic stuff, you know. I'm +really an ace warrior. Never get any credit though. -Oh, who cares about that. I don't deal with such wimpy things. @Good. You've delayed me long enough. I got to go back to the wasteland and @kill odd a cyclops or two. :3 #Hadley !Names Hadley, Troy Hadley. What you want, dude? *JOB +I'm a tech for the store room here at the base - My main specialty is +devices and accessories. Need to know anything about a particular devices? *NAME +Troy Hadley. Can't you read? *DEVICES +I did some work on the LRSCAN and SCANNER for example. They're pretty useful +when you're stuck in a bind. *LRSCAN +The LRSCAN locks into one of them spy satellites that was abandoned after +the war. It can generate you a 9 by 9 map of your current grid location. I +hear they work good if you get lost. *SCANNER +Scanners? Designed the prototype myself. It sends out a scanning beam and +can give you a bearing and distance to nearby objects - like holes and +towns and such. Nice for exploring unfamiliar territory. *RADIO +The field radio isn't really a necessity - but if you get stuck in the +wasteland and want to talk with somebody, it can be quite nice. One day +ol' Jeffrey called in on his claiming he'd slayed a terminator. We all ran +out to see and it turned out to be a robotic vacuum cleaner. Damn thing beat +the hell out of Jeffrey too! We all got a good laugh out of that one. *MEDKIT +I'm not a doctor so I don't know much about them. I know they make the +medecine out of herbs that they locate out in the wasteland. That's why +you can sell herbs for so high around here. If a guy could build his own +medkit producer and gather up some herbs, he might be able to make himself +a nice business. *RATIONS +Yuck! Those things are disgusting. Made from dead rad hounds and such. But, +they're about all we can mass-produce around here. I bet the supply store +would pay a good price for some good ol' fashioned steaks if you could find +some. *ROPE +Rope is very useful - you need the stuff to get up and down levels. -Dunno about that. Devices are my specialty. @Later, dude.
