John Maxson - Fallout - Voices (PC - Computer) Edit

A bunch of religious wackos, if you ask me. I think their mangers is in the boneyard.

A fine, handsome, upstanding man. The high elder position is to mediate the meetings between the elders. Say two years ago I got talked into it. If I had known then.

And initiate not born here. You're the first outsider we've let join in a long, long time, and they're on 20 years now.

Because we need to do something. An armies gathering hub caravans are disappearing and our scouts sure as hell aren't getting the job done. So the Elders actually did something for once and figured...

Butch is the head of the Fargo traders. He's a little slimy, but not a total waste, unlike those water merchants. Much a damn vultures all of.

Contrary to opinion, we don't want soldiers with no brains whatsoever.

Deep in the mountains, he couldn't be more specific.

Finally, unless I'll get the elders off their butts, we'll fortify the fortress and surprise us damn mutants.

Freeze the head Scribe. She's usually in the library. She always likes to talk.

Go ahead.

Good. Anything else you need to ask?

Good. Now shut the door on your way out.

Goodbye, Initiate.

Goodbye.

He's a good kid, even if he does want to be a scribe.

Hello again and this year things going well.

Hello, Vino.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on now. Stop that. Stop it right now.

I am not in the habit of repeating myself, so open your damn ears.

I can't. I just moderate these endless damn meetings. There's four elders and me, see. I break up fights and tie votes now if all four vote to pick our noses while an army rolls in here and kicks o...

I don't know.

I don't take stock in rumors.

I have absolutely no idea.

I said.

I'll take it We need the information to save lives.

I'm sorry, we're not what you're used to, but you could show a little self-discipline.

I'm telling you, do not interfere.

Like I said.

Look, I don't have time for a story that long right now here. All of us grew up on this.

Look, I told you already. It's not my fault if you didn't get.

Matthew is my assistant.

Ohh hello youngster, Cabot said You wanted to talk. Look I'm I'm pretty stacked up right now so all. I'll help you out, as long as you don't start flapping your gums too much. You know, outsiders a...

Ohh, just another stupid rumor. Some people say it's a huge Fang monster and others say it's a vampire.

Ohh, not a bad plan. Tell you what, let me go try and beat it into the elders. No guarantees, but I'll try.

Ohh, there's not much to tell. I never ran into any of them. I've heard there are problem for the people of Atom though.

Ohh, wasn't hard at all. I just calmly explained the situation and bingo, here we are, lead on my friend.

Ohh, what's he planning to do with this army of his?

Ohh. It's damn important. It's critical to our survival.

Our main goal is to survive The scribes copy all plans for weapons are designed new ones and the Knights make guns from them. Most guns come from us.

Paladins are in charge of all security and outside activities. I remember trading with the hub, going on scouting missions for the elders. Ohh man, those are good times.

Polo this. Hmm. I haven't seen those in a while. Go talk to Free about it. I'm sure she still has the hollow players around here somewhere.

Pretty interesting set of priorities and loyalties you got there.

Rambo's been here a long time. A bit stiff, but a hell of a soldier.

Roger. Maximum. Well, you let our people here in the great exodus. Started the Brotherhood from scratch, Quanta leader.

Scribes copy down the weapon specs. We've got information all the way back to my granddad. Sometimes a scribe comes up with a new idea for a weapon. That doesn't happen too often. And they all answ...

See you around. And this year you're not so bad for an outsider.

Shoot.

So what is your alternative?

So.

Sure.

Surprised to see me what and let you have all the fun?

That's a settlement down in the boneyard. I went there ohh long time ago. I was on a scouting mission for the elders.

That's it. Guards take this idiot away.

That's it. I warned the elders that bringing in an outsider could be trouble. Guards. There's an initiate here who needs some quiet time to discover some manners.

That's the way we get our supplies.

That's where you are. You want the long version? Go talk to free.

The hubs down to the southeast, they trade us food and things for the weapons we make here. Now, if you ever down there, you talked to Butch Harris.

The word I got was that the caravans disappeared around the southern tip of the mountains to the east. Imagine the hub. Merchants can probably tell you more.

Then get out. I have work to do.

Then you need to get your because being unsure is bound to get you killed.

Then you understand the problem. To survive, we need someone who knows the outside, like you.

They grew up too isolated here. Can you imagine spending your whole life inside one small place, then having to go out into the world?

They may or may not be good scouts, but don't question the truthfulness of my men. We can revoke your initiate status at any time.

They're not. Suggest you talk to my assistant Matthew, about that.

They're the main ones we trade with. Not totally trustworthy, but not as bad as the others.

Three has it someplace in the library.

Tonight's make the weapons when he's good enough and I can advance to become a paladin and then an elder and so forth. Right now, Rhombus is head of the Knights.

Tradition. It's hard to change our ways now. Maybe if the elders had some real info, they'd get off their brains and do some.

We keep weapons specs and history there.

Well, how about nothing? Guards kicked this fool up by God will defend the brotherhood without your damn help.

Well, I believe there's an army massing to the north and in the mountains to the east, but I don't have any way to prove it. The elders, They won't even listen.

Well, I don't know a lot. There's a bunch of gangs around there as well as added them and the children of the cathedral. Not much else. It's pretty damn desert.

Well, if he does, hope you find a place to use your scripts.

Well, it's it's who we are, what we live for, its ideals. As you spend more time with us, hopefully you'll understand.

Well, that was when my granddad, Roger Maxson, led his soldiers here and started the Brotherhood. He never mentioned where they came from, but it doesn't really matter because. Well. This is our ho...

Well, that's what you are. Initiates train and learn to become Knights or scribes.

Well, the merchants from the Hub told us a bunch of caravans disappeared on their way up north. I think there's an army in the mountains, but the elders? They don't want to act until they're sure.

Well, with what I guess is coming, we don't have time for anyone who's gonna. Not contribute. Now you either work with us or you take a hike.

Well, you see, there's four of them and that's about all they can ever agree on. They can't even agree if they wanna piss, much less pick a pot to piss in.

What do you got?

What do you think you're doing? Put that down. Put it down now.

What the hell are you doing in here? This is for elders.

What the hell do you want now?

What was that? No, I don't believe I've ever heard of it.

When we heard about the missing caravans, we sent out a few scouts east and north. The ones that went N never returned. One came back from the east. He talked about a score of strange beings, all m...

Yeah, far away.

You forget I used to teach this stuff.

You wanna hear about the water merchants? Well, you cannot trust them. Few years ago they offered us water for a huge stockpile of weapons, but we told them no. You know what they did? They sent in...

You're an outsider, but I expect you to learn our ways. I'll be watching. Now. Ask your questions.

You've seen them. This might actually get the elders to do something. I'm going to get on this. Thanks.

Your choice. Hope you can live with.
