| - Unh.
- What can I do for you?
- Oof.
- Gah.
- Ahh!
- Are you okay?
- Can I help you?
- {You're a bit reticent to perform this proceed. / Neutral} Okay... You're not going to like this, but it'll be worth it.
- {Examining someone's wounds. / InPain} I've seen worse. We can deal with this.
- {You're surprised by the extent of the player's wounds. / Surprised} And you're just walking around like this? I'm glad you came to me...
- {examining a patient, they just told you their radiation levels are normal / InPain} Almost certainly won't stay that way, but good for you. Anything else?
- {InPain} Wouldn't bother me if we don't have this conversation again. You get my meaning?
- {Seriously concerned about the level of injury the player has suffered. / InPain} Oh wow. Okay, yeah I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to look like that. Let's see what I can do.
- It doesn't quite have the brilliance of color that I understand it once did, before... Well, before the war.
- {examining a patient, who says they are not addicted to any chems / InPain} Glad to hear it. Something else you need?
- I'm really rather busy, so if there's nothing else...
- It was originally a place of science. I like that about it; feels like home, in a way.
- A beautiful color, don't you think?
- As promised, here are your caps.
- Did you need something? I'm somewhat busy.
- I don't mean the Institute when I say "home"... More that, oh I don't know... that abstract feeling of belonging someplace.
- Hmm, okay... what can we have you do...
- I also find them beautiful.
- I'll be here if you need something else.
- I'll get back to it, then.
- Just what I was looking for.
- Perhaps a bit harsh, but the environment certainly can be unforgiving.
- It's fascinating that after all this time, after so much conflict, people of the island may finally start to work together.
- I'm not the one you should be speaking with right now.
- {Examining someone's wounds. / InPain} All right, let's get you patched up.
- Oh, well... that's thoughtful of you.
- Okay, was there anything else?
- Okay. You know where to find me.
- Relax. I'm kidding. Mostly.
- So much work to do...
- So, are you feeling ill?
- So, what else do you need?
- Something else I can do for you?
- {Reluctantly performing a medical procedure. / InPain} Right, okay... Just try not to vomit on the plant specimens.
- There's no shortage of things to be done.
- These will do nicely. Thank you.
- Time to put my knowledge to the test, I guess.
- Well, I... I think it's all rather compelling.
- Well, thank you. I wish more shared the sentiment.
- Were you going to... you know... say something?
- What is it you need a doctor for?
- There's a flower native to this island - a species of the genus Aster - that has survived remarkably well.
- {Curing someone's addiction. / InPain} This won't be fun, but you'll feel better afterwards.
- We all belong here, in our own way. DiMA's to be thanked for that.
- That's fine. I'm sure we both have other things to tend to.
- I should note that I am not fully versed in human anatomy, but I'm your best chance of medical assistance, should you require it.
- As much as I can, given limited resources. Cataloguing specimens, observing evolutionary trends, compiling data for future generations.
- Thank you. I'm just not suited to roaming around the island.
- {seeing signs of radiation sickness / InPain} Okay, I know I can take care of that for you.
- {InPain} All that I have.
- {InPain} Certainly. Here.
- {InPain} Fine.
- {InPain} I may have what you're looking for.
- {InPain} I will do... what I can. What's wrong?
- {InPain} Oh, good. Good! Anything else?
- {InPain} Okay, good luck out there.
- {InPain} Okay, what else can I do for you?
- {InPain} Tell me what troubles you.
- {InPain} Very well.
- {InPain} Was there something else you needed?
- {InPain} What ails you?
- If you could bring me additional samples, it would speed up my research.
- Cog charges me an arm and a leg for supplies. No pun intended. If you can't pay, I'm afraid I can't help you.
- {Examining someone's wounds. / InPain} Let's see here... Okay, could be worse.
- If I lost my life, that'd be one thing. To lose my identity... That was too much to bear. Thankfully, it never came to that. So, here I am.
- Perhaps if you're extremely short-sighted. Or maybe you have some better plan for helping future generations survive.
- This island, with all of its danger and beauty, pre-dates you and I. The ecosystem isn't what it once was, but it has adapted.
- Reading counts as experience, right? Or at least it's pretty close?
- It gives me a sense of purpose, yes. I like having something worthwhile to which I can dedicate my time.
- Hmm, interesting. Of course, it was already burnt to the ground once. I'm not sure attempting that again would yield much.
- {curing patient's chem addiction / InPain} You are kind of a mess, aren't you? I think we can sort this out.
- {InPain} I'd tell you that you need a more competent doctor, but you might not make it to one. I think I can improve this situation...
- I chose not to go into hiding, though. I felt... To do that, I'd lose what makes me, me. Does that make sense?
- I can offer you a meager amount of caps, if that makes the idea more appealing.
- Well, I'm the closest you're going to get around here.
- I suppose you've come to the right place. Right enough, anyway.
- I'm sorry, is this a joke I'm not in on? If you do actually find any I'll be happy to take them.
- I can't help but wonder whether the Children of Atom are at peace now...
- Similar to most here, I think. I fled the Institute, feeling that anything else would be allowing myself to remain trapped, constantly in fear.
- And then passing that knowledge along to those who will follow us.
- A mix of scientific inquiry and personal interest, I suppose. I'm curious about the changes the species has gone through over the centuries.
- {InPain} Thanks for the practice, I guess. Try and stay safe out there.
- {remorse / Concerned} Far Harbor, gone. Didn't see that coming...
- I know it can seem trivial, in light of everything else that's going on, but I do appreciate it.
- I'm personally rather of fond of them, but lately have been investigating secondary chemical properties they possess.
- Since DiMA has approved of you, I'm more than willing to offer help.
- {curing patient's chem addiction / InPain} Maybe try and go a little easy on the stuff in the future? Assuming this works, I mean...
- So, I understand you've seen a good bit of our island. What do you think?
- That's... refreshing. Most don't view it the same; I'm glad someone else can see it.
