| - We maintain and upgrade all of the systems that make it possible to live and work in a place like this.
- And consider having another talk with Shaun. He really is anxious to have you with us.
- You've got to know that the Watchers have been keeping an eye on you. We've seen you working with the Brotherhood.
- {Amused speculation} We also make use of a number of synth units for low-priority maintenance and labor.
- Doctor Ayo, did you still need modifications to the entryway for the SRB?
- You just keep me safe; I'll worry about the Agitator.
- {matter of fact} Let's hope the Brotherhood hasn't beaten us to the Agitator.
- No sign of the Agitator... We'll have to search the rest of the building.
- Uh... Okay then. I'll... I'll come up with something.
- Otherwise, internally things are as tight as they've ever been. Doctor Secord and her division have been keeping an eye on things topside.
- {Disapproval / Stern} Kellogg always was a cold bastard. If you ask me, we're better off without him.
- {matter of fact / Neutral} Some of the divisions may still need your help; consider checking in with them.
- {disgusted but restrained / Defiant} Well, that's... unfortunate. I suppose it' just as well he isn't able to hear that sentiment. Moving on...
- Not as much as I'd appreciate coming back in one piece. I don't like going above ground unless there's no other option.
- Doctor Secord, did you still need modifications to the entryway for the SRB?
- {mild disapproval} I suppose that's one way of phrasing it...
- Oh good, you found the key card. Now we can see where that elevator leads.
- {Friendly, but a little condescending} Our technology must seem pretty advanced by your standards.
- The details would be lost on you, no offense. The point is it'll allow us to boost the reactor's power and get it running sooner than planned.
- Don't make fun of the suit, okay? I know it's not the most flattering thing in the world, but neither is radiation sickness.
- That's all we have for the moment. I believe Father wished to speak with you once our meeting concluded.
- {Sad, sympathetic / Sad} You went through so much to find your son, only to lose him. I'm so sorry.
- {making a joke / Apologetic} This device we're after... It's very sensitive equipment, and it's pretty damn old. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I trust myself more.
- {sarcastic but light-hearted} Well, all we need to do now is get out in one piece.
- {insulted / Irritated} Well, that's about the most insulting thing I've heard in a while.
- {Concerned} So you have been working for them... Well, don't let the SRB get wind of that.
- {disbelieving / Disbelief} Just decided to do that on your own, did you? Okay, whatever you say.
- Recent events have upset our timetable; getting the reactor online has become our number one priority. It needs to be running... well, yesterday.
- We're going to have to cut some corners. I'm not thrilled, but it means we'll need to rely on some pre-war tech.
- {Grateful} Thank you very much for your time, ma'am.
- Here, I've got a couple of doses of Rad-X but I seriously doubt it'll do the job.
- {Friendly} He coordinates with BioScience to ensure that our meals are balanced for optimal nutrition.
- {Concerned} So are you going to put up a stink, or can we get moving?
- {Concerned} All right, look... I can't go into details, at least not right now. But this is important.
- {accepting but somber / Somber} Don't tell me... He's gone, isn't he.
- {Polite conversation} It's a good thing, too, because the demand is always increasing.
- {Irritated, Serious / Irritated} I got a call at work today about Quentin.
- You wouldn't recognize one if it fell on your head. That's why I'm going to retrieve it.
- All Institute facilities remain completely secure, with... the exception of one notable breach.
- {Friendly conversation} Power distribution is Doctor Evan Watson's area of expertise, and Doctor Newton Oberly is in charge of food and housing.
- I've got a couple of doses of Rad-X, which you're welcome to, but they're not going to be enough.
- Got it? Good. I've had about enough of this little field trip.
- {sarcastic but light-hearted} This wasn't really what I planned on doing today.
- Head on up to the Relay, and they'll get you over to Mass Fusion in a flash... pun sort-of intended.
- What's that, a key card? Hold on to it. Might be useful.
- You're going to the Mass Fusion building to acquire a Beryllium Agitator for us.
- Take your time; get yourself acquainted. There's a lot to take in; plenty of things you won't find top-side.
- All right, let's go over the details.
- All right, sounds good.
- {sarcastic but light-hearted} If I was a pre-war tech conglomerate, where would I keep all my best toys?
- {Concerned} I doubt the SRB will feel the same, but I'll let it go.
- {casual, talking to colleague} I'll let you know when the review is complete.
- You've got to know that the Watchers have been keeping an eye on you. We know you've worked with the Brotherhood in the past.
- {Apologetic} Of course. It was never the intention to cause more harm than is necessary.
- Good to hear. It'll be a load off Shaun's mind.
- Head on up to the Relay, and I'll meet you there.
- Head on up to the Relay. I'll meet you there.
- {Sympathetic but firm / Confident} I know this is a difficult time, but you're the director now. It's time for you to lead us.
- I don't think that's really going to be an option.
- I really hope that's true.
- It's an ambush!
- {Admiration, affection} It's a process that's still going on today. Even now, we're digging out tunnels for new facilities and infrastructure.
- You go in there without something, and you're going to be toast. Glowing, blistered toast. So?
- Must be an old security system. Watch your back!
- {matter of fact / Neutral} I'll see to it that Requisitions is re-stocked, and have them add in some additional items to be used at your discretion.
- {Apologetic} As the incoming Director, we felt it important to inform you of the decision and get your thoughts on it.
- Oh boy.
- Okay, good.
- Okay, hotshot. Have fun.
- {Apologetic} We've all agreed that action must be taken.
- {casual, talking to colleague} I did. I'm in the middle of reviewing them now, but I'm already unsure how we're going to shuffle things to get you the necessary power.
- {Stern / Stern} Ask your son. A Courser saw him push Alice and Julia into the concourse water display. Then he helped them out, just to push them back in again.
- {Apologetic} We really don't have a choice. If we're to emerge from this the victors, we need to move quickly.
- These guys just don't know when they're beaten, do they?
- Right... I'll make sure a team is sent over soon.
- See? This is why I wore the suit.
- {Friendly, impressed} If you don't mind my asking, what was it that kept you going all that time?
- The Institute, of course.
- This ought to be quite an adventure.
- I'll help the synths buy some time. Make sure you get back to the Institute with the Agitator!
- Well, I see you managed on your own!
- Which would you prefer we focus on?
- Yes, of course.
- {Stern / Stern} I can find him some things to do around the Institute, picking up trash, polishing...how does a month of maintenance duty sound?
- {dead serious / Stern} We don't want them getting the Agitator before we do.
- I think that was enough excitement for... well, ever.
- {Concerned} We need to get our hands on that Agitator before the Brotherhood does.
- {mildly annoyed} Joking in the face of mortal danger. Always a good sign.
- {pleased but restrained / Grateful} That's very complimentary. Thank you. I hope you'll feel the same going forward.
- {Apologetic} It's a piece of pre-war tech that's useful in optimizing nuclear reactions. That make sense?
- Well, if we increase synth production we'd be able to deploy more of them to the Commonwealth to aid in our operations.
- Weapon development would improve the weapons we have available to us now, making our synths more effective in the field.
- {sarcastic but light-hearted} At least we got to it first.
- {Stern / Stern} I think a three week grounding and a hand-written apology to everyone involved is suitable.
