| - Did you need something?
- Unh.
- Hello?
- Oof.
- All right.
- Is everything all right?
- Yes, absolutely.
- By all means, look around. Investigate. We have nothing to hide.
- {Concern / Concerned} We were expecting a new synth to arrive, and he should have been here by now.
- I used to work for the Institute, returning synths that had escaped.
- {Pleading} That's as much help as I can give you for now. Please hurry. If that synth is out there alone, he won't last long.
- {summarizing your orders / Confident} Get the program. Use it to break into the memory banks. Got it.
- {Stern} Just like you couldn't just leave the Cult of Atom without a home? Giving them the submarine base was a mistake.
- {talking to the player, who has persuaded DiMA to tell you about what's going on} Simply put: They want to kill each other, and each side wants us to help them.
- DiMA never stopped sacrificing for those he swore to protect, right up until the end.
- He's the one who meets the new arrivals and gets them started on the journey here.
- It's as safe as we can make it, for now. With every new synth we rescue, we're better able to defend ourselves.
- {Stern} The Nucleus, as they're calling it, is basically one big fortified position.
- {reluctantly giving up information, hesitant} I... have a network of contacts throughout the area. Some from my time with the Institute, some after.
- {Direct, serious, a military officer / Concerned} As a matter of fact, there is. If you're serious about contributing.... well, we've got a situation I need someone to look into.
- I appreciate that, Dejen, but we've talked about this. You don't need to worry.
- Your trips to Far Harbor have been uneventful, I hope?
- That's not a subject we need to discuss. I manage; that's all that matters.
- You'll have to get through the Children of Atom's base. You're new on the island, so you might be able to pose as a recruit.
- I rejected the Institute, burned my chip, and dedicated my life to instead helping synths find freedom.
- {Growing cold & aloof, the player is being greedy / Stern} Fine, 300 caps. I'd advise you not to push your luck any further.
- {tired, resigned} To have DiMA sacrifice himself, and then see Far Harbor destroyed... I'm not sure this was all worth it.
- {Concerned} I certainly hope not, but I'd like to know for certain.
- {Firm denial, no way / Concerned} Normally it would be, but tensions with the Children of Atom are high right now and I'm needed here to oversee security.
- Perhaps not as quietly or efficiently as possible, but thankfully she was never in any real danger.
- Acadia will not fall!
- Actually...
- Agh.
- Be careful who you trust.
- DiMA is waiting for you.
- DiMA's told you most of what you need to know.
- Don't stray into the fog if you can help it.
- {Firm, but not angry. You like the player and appreciate his help} The reward is 200 caps. Of course, you'll also have our gratitude. Who knows? That could turn out to be even more valuable.
- {Stern} They're going to kill each other, DiMA. There's no stopping it. We need to pick a side now.
- Good. Glad to hear it.
- How is Jule today?
- I suppose not. Thank you.
- I'm afraid your journey was unnecessary.
- If there's nothing more to say...
- Which was a mistake, because Martin is gone and the new Confessor, Tektus, is completely insane.
- {Irritated} Fine. Come and see me when you're ready.
- No, I'm afraid not.
- I'm never pleased to learn of lives lost, but with the Children of Atom gone, Acadia is that much safer.
- Stay safe. The island is a dangerous place.
- Ungh.
- We'll see. I'm very good at what I do.
- You don't stand a chance!
- You have my word.
- You know the rules, Cog.
- You tracked Kasumi here. I'm impressed.
- You're already taking care of it... aren't you?
- You've already done enough. Thank you.
- Acadia is a safe haven for synths. Were it not, I would not have aided anyone in reaching it.
- {Direct, serious / Concerned} You've had some experience traveling around the island, so you may be decently equipped to handle it.
- {Stern} So send me over there. I'll be in and out in a day.
- DiMA believes there was no other option, that Far Harbor couldn't be trusted. In the end, I agree with him.
- You should start by talking to Brooks in Far Harbor. He's one of us, a synth.
- I know the Institute's tactics, and use that to my advantage.
- {Worried / Concerned} This island is no place for a lone synth to get lost.
- {Pleading} Right now, you're the only option that I have. I'l give you the details, and you can do what you will.
- I rejected the Institute, made sure they couldn't track me, and dedicated my life to instead helping synths find freedom.
- {Worried / Concerned} That synth could be out there on his own. I hope you can find him quickly.
- {confused} No, I'm afraid not.
- {Stern} I can't believe you never told me about those. I have to wait until they become a security risk.
- {Worried / Concerned} Please hurry and find that synth.
- I was tracking a synth, and instead found DiMA. He... convinced me of the truth, and the error of my ways.
- You have been spending a significant amount of time with her lately. I assumed you were close.
- {Matter of fact, but sympathetic / Sad} You and I both.
- Cog, I'm serious. Don't endanger others just because you don't like the rules.
- Well then at least you have the return trip to look forward to.
- My job is to make sure they all remain safe, no matter what. Understand?
- You don't have to call me "ma'am," Dejen. We're all friends here.
- {Grief, blaming yourself. / Sad} It's my fault. I should have gone out there to meet him. Damn it all.
- {Disappointed, feeling grief / Sad} That poor bastard. That synth came here to live in peace, and we failed him in the worst way possible.
- {Curt, a soldier / Stern} Thanks again for your help. Be safe out there.
- But now Tektus is in charge, and he's after DiMA's memories. We don't even know what's in them.
- {Fed up with the player's greed / Stern} I can do 400 caps, but that's as high as I'm willing to go. Don't bother asking for a single cap more.
- {DiMA and Faraday are close and you hate that they leave you out of critical discussions / Irritated} You've been working on this without me?
- You have DiMA's blessing, so by all means, make yourself comfortable.
- {sad that DiMA is always so idealistic, but trying to move back to solving the problem / Concerned} *sigh* Just how secure are the banks? How long do we have? And what's in them?
- It's all right. You don't have to be sorry either. Just stay safe on your trips.
- I don't do it to be thanked. I do it because otherwise, we'd all be dead.
- {Worried / Concerned} It'll mean a lot to us if you can find that missing synth.
- Every synth I've tracked down, every synth convinced to come here, has been assured that he or she will come to no harm.
- {Concern / Concerned} There's been no sign of him, and I'm concerned that he might have become lost on the way here.
- {Matter of fact / Stern} Of course not. For someone without weapons or field training, crossing this island is deadly.
- {Grateful / Somber} I'm glad you were able to bring some closure to the matter. You deserve this, and... shall we say 200 caps?
- Of course, he's not likely to tell you anything without proof that you're working for me.
- I don't think this is the way DiMA wanted it, but with Far Harbor and the Nucleus gone, Acadia can be a much safer haven for synths.
