| - {Proud, almost boastful} The latest synth generation is just amazing. Those guys in robotics are working miracles.
- {Disappointed.} Just let me know when that other time is.
- {changing the subject, trying to calm tense situation} To bring you up to speed: Obviously there are groups in the Commonwealth that stand in opposition to the Institute's goals.
- {Friendly / Friendly} I couldn't be more pleased with Father's choice for a new director. Congratulations.
- Well, that's a question best left to our colleagues in the Robotics division.
- {A scientist at work. TRI-uh-CAN-thos where "TRI" is like tricycle and THOS is like floss.} Did you add those new strains of triacanthos we discovered to the database?
- There might be. Tell you what. You get settled in, and check back with me later. I'll see what I can find.
- Well, normally the Directorate reviews and approves research tracks for the various divisions. Today, however, we're here for a different reason.
- With the reactor now online, we have the ability to not only expand synth production, but to project power to a much greater degree.
- Doctor Volkert works in the infirmary. Just pay him a visit whenever you need to.
- {Friendly, conversational} You probably saw the gorillas... they're really just a pet project at this point, but the potential is exciting nonetheless.
- {Generous, but also a bit mocking} We'd be lost without you, Isaac.
- Isaac, have you had a chance to run the alkalinity test on last week's soil sample from Warwick?
- {Friendly} Unfortunately, we had a few early setbacks. The creatures can become suddenly aggressive, and they're quite strong.
- The conflict is already upon us; unless we end it now it's only going to get worse.
- {Proud / Happy} With hard work and ingenuity, any challenge can be overcome.
- {Defensive} We're not fighters, we're scientists. We'd be no match for one of those creatures.
- {Confident} You won't find better medical care anywhere else in the Commonwealth, I'll promise you that.
- {Concluding a science lecture} I expect I'll eventually need several such samples, but let's just start with one.
- {Condescending} I see. Well, our schedule is important so, I trust you'll make it a priority.
- {Friendly, enthusiastic / Friendly} I can't wait for you to see the work we're doing. It's truly amazing.
- Even if science isn't your passion, there are plenty of ways to contribute.
- {A little patronizing, self-congratulatory / Confident} I knew you'd be the right man for the job.
- {Proud, confident, even a bit smug} I'd call that pretty rewarding.
- {Friendly / Friendly} I have every confidence you'll make a fine director.
- Good man, good man.
- I don't know that this is the time...
- I'll be grateful if you do.
- I'll take that from you.
- Those people are the last remnants of a dying past. It's best not to dwell on the subject.
- Not at the moment, but thanks for asking.
- {Pleasant, but with an agenda. You're about to issue a mild reprimand.} Hi there, Dean. How's it going?
- From what I've heard, you're both fearless and resourceful. I think you'd be ideal for that kind of role.
- {Friendly} On the whole, I'd say they were a success. Their behavior does generally match what our historical data says it should be.
- {Friendly / Friendly} Good to see you again. Did you need something?
- That's right.
- {Part amused, part annoyed} You are persistent, aren't you?
- {Friendly} Before you go, at least let me give you a brief overview of what we do here. I promise I'll keep it short.
- {Friendly, asking for a favor / Friendly} Director! Good, I'm glad you're here. I'm hoping you can assist with me an experiment.
- {Friendly, like a teacher with a student} It's just my opinion, of course, but I don't believe that every discovery needs to be useful.
- {Wondering why the player has stopped talking. Filling in dead air.} It's alright, no hurry.
- Not yet. I've been reviewing Father's plans to expand our operations at Warwick.
- {Friendly, genuinely concerned / Apologetic} I hate to send you into harm's way, but in this case, there's no way around it.
- {Friendly, asking for a favor} I could use some more tissue samples, if you have the time to collect them.
- {Proud} If this experiment is a success, it could bolster our food supply by as much as three percent.
- {Impressed, even momentous / Impressed} This feels like the dawn of a new era.
- {Friendly, but concerned... you're saying "be careful"} Super Mutants can be pretty dangerous, so take whatever precautions you need to.
- {polite disagreement, deferential / Apologetic} I don't think anyone really intended that as a course of action.
- He's eager to get that going, so I've had to put everything else to one side.
- {Friendly, courteous / Friendly} In any case, I imagine you'll want to continue looking around. Or, if you prefer, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
- {Apologetic} Now's not really a good time.
- {Apologetic} Yes, but it's not just that.
- {Charming} Welcome! So good to have you here.
- {Eager} So, will you do it?
- {Friendly / Friendly} Something I can do for you?
- {Friendly} I was just about to explain that.
- {Grateful / Happy} Thank you again for this.
- {Happy} Not at the moment, no.
- {Polite} Take care, then.
- {Reluctant} I suppose that's a fair request.
- {Warm, friendly} It's great to have you here.
- {slightly hesitant / Apologetic} Well...
- {uncomfortable} Oh, boy.
- {Disappointed, lecturing / Somber} That Warwick situation was a real mess. You're not exactly off to a great start here.
- {Friendly / Friendly} Doctor Clayton Holdren, head of the BioScience division.
- I would love to see that big airship fly off over the horizon, but it's not going to happen.
- {Helpful} You face at least as much danger as any of our Coursers.
- {Friendly / Friendly} Anything I can help you with?
- {Disappointed, lecturing / Somber} I hope you've learned something from what happened at Warwick. That was a costly mistake.
- {A little patronizing, self-congratulatory / Confident} I knew you'd be the right woman for the job.
- {Confident / Confident} Well, if this experiment bears fruit, the risk will have been worth it.
- It might be necessary to gather more samples, so check back with me later if you can.
- {Continuing a science lecture} To test this theory, I'll need a tissue sample from a particularly strong Super Mutant.
- {Grateful / Friendly} Thanks for running those seeds up to Warwick Homestead.
- {An afterthought, almost under your breath} Probably best if you kill it first.
- {Uncertain at first, but growing more certain} I was going to take these over to the SRB, but here, you take them.
- {Pleased, satisfied. / Happy} They are indeed. Judging by your reaction, we've done a good job making them seem lifelike.
- {Friendly, asking for a favor / Friendly} I'm glad you're here. I'd like to conduct an experiment, but I need some assistance with it.
- Doctor Karlin needs your help with something. You should speak to him.
- {Proud} Humanity's future is taking root right here.
- {Enthusiastic, friendly / Friendly} In that case, let me give you a brief overview of what we do here.
- {Friendly} Remember, you're looking for a Super Mutant that's tougher and stronger than the average one.
- I... try not to think too much about it. We have more than enough to occupy ourselves here.
- {Friendly, enthusiastic / Friendly} We're making real progress, thanks to you.
- {Friendly, hopeful / Question} I'm sure I've taken up enough of your time as it is, but I have to ask... have you decided whether you'll join us?
- Our most important directive is to ensure the health and well-being of everyone in the Institute.
- We've even started to explore the idea of synthetic animal life.
- He's our top biologist, and also serves as the Institute's resident physician.
- {Enthusiastic} Excellent. I've made real progress thanks to your help.
- To that end, we cultivate highly specialized breeds of flora for use in food and medicine.
- {Apologetic, then asking for a favor. } I know it's a lot to ask, but please at least consider it. You might well be the only one here who can do this job.
- {Patronizing} Well, I'm sure you'll do your best to get back on schedule.
- {Continuing a science lecture} I believe we can improve the growth rates of our crops by using mutated cells such as those found in Super Mutants.
- {Grateful / Friendly} Our synth at Warwick sent his first report. Thanks for taking care of that.
