#Defs Sacre
!Howdy there. Name's Defs Sacre. I used to be a warrior, but now I've retired
!and serve as bartender here at the base. I know lots about monsters, armor,
!weapons, etc. What you want to know about?
*NAME
+Name's Defs Sacre, like I said.
*JOB
+I'm just bartender here. I used to be a wasteland warrior, but I've long
+since retired. I know about lots of things though.
*DEATH
+Ah yes, the Death Warriors. They're a nasty bunch. Rumor has it they have
+down on them main highway to the south. I've known a couple of guys who tried
+to get inside, but they never returned. Seems to me the only way to get in
+would be to find some way to trick them into thinking you were one of them.
*WEAPON
+I know lots about weapons. What do you want to know about? Short range or
+long range weapons? I also have used some grenades in my time.
*SHORT
+There are lots of short range weapons. My favorite is the Slicer-Dicer. They
+don't sell them around here - I found it on some kinda robot a ways away from
+here. Hell of a battle getting the thing.
*LONG
+I prefer to use a gravblaster. The ammo for em is damn expensive, but they
+really trash whoever you're fighting.
*GRENADE
+Grenades are one of my favorites. Since the explosion is so large, you have
+a much better chance of hitting something than you have with a ranged weapon.
+Back in my fightin' days, I used to carry around a grenade pack or two.
+Run into somnething nasty like a terminator, you can throw a grenade at it
+and get a guarenteed hit before the hand-to-hand starts. Real nice.
*BBS
+The only BBS I've ever heard of is the Not-Yet-Named bbs.
*Not-Yet-Named
+The Not-Yet-Named bbs? I heard it was quite a place before the war. The
+number was 602-577-3650.
*ARMOR
+There are lot's of enhanced armor types in the more distant areas of the
+wasteland. I picked up something pretty cool once that the techs here called
+"Energy armor". Got it off a dead Death Warrior Leader.
*MONSTER
+The wasteland is populated by many different creatures. Most of the ones
+around the base here are pretty wimpy and some are even unarmed. But once you
+go farther out, things get real nasty real quick. What monster do you want to
+know about?
*RAD HOUND
+Come on man, you should be able to take a rad hound easy. They're just a
+beast - no real intelligence to them whatsoever.
*RAT
+The Giant Rat? Another example of what the rads can do to things. I tell
+you, I always carry around a medkit to reduce the effects of the rads on
+me.
*REPTILE
+We got em all out here in the wasteland - Giant Rats, Giant Reptiles, Giant
+Vultures, etc. They're just a freak of nature - caused by too much rads.
*ANT
+Ant Men? They are a strange lot. Kind of a cross between an ant and a man.
+Nobody knows how it happened - probably more radiation caused mutation.
*VULTURE
+Nasty critter. It's flying capabilities make it hard to hit. The claws on
+that thing can tear right through a guy's armor. Nasty....
*MUTANT
+We tell people not to venture out into the wasteland unprotected, but some
+just don't listen. It's sad, but there's not much we can do about it. Once
+the rads get to em, they are completely changed - barely even human
+anymore.
*VALLEY
+Bunch of em came over from california before the earthquake. They're not hard
+to beat, but they are a neusence. Most of em used to be cheerleaders. Pretty
+nice looking too if you don't mind the green mutant skin.
*BANDIT
+The wasteland is full of bandits. They're pretty weak - usually only armed
+with a dagger and cloth armor. Not much of a challenge for an experienced
+adventurer.
*INSANE
+Yeah, it's pretty sad - some of our guys just can take the pressure out there.
+They go completely mad. Nasty thing is, they have all of our training and
+equipment on them. Make's em tough to fight.
*DROID
+There are many different types of droids around out there. Most of
+them are simple machines, but some like the terminators are cyborgs. Most
+droids using some kind of iron or steel plating armor. Stuff's useless for
+me and you though - too heavy.
*TERMINATOR
+The terminators are pretty nasty. Most people think they're simply machines,
+but theres a human brain inside em that does the thinking. I know cause I
+bashed ones head open once. The terminator's real strength is it's armor -
+It's got G-4 steel plating. Stuff's too heavy for humans to use, but most
+places will buy it up for a decent price - it's hard to find good quality
+steel these days.
*WIDOW
+The Black Widows? I've heard some talk of a new gang out in the mountains
+called the black widows. They're supposedly pretty nasty. Theyve got their
+own enhanced weapons and armor - WidowLance, Widow Armor, etc. Their
+weapons use some kind of enhanced energy pack called a "WidowPack". Don't
+know of any stores that sell the WidowPacks - If you want to use any widow
+weapons, you'll have to locate your own ammo.
*SECURITY
+Rumor has it there are some funny looking guys out there with
+uniforms that say "Federation Of Planets" or something. God only knows who
+they are or why they're here. They're pretty well trained and well equipped.
+I wouldn't want to have to go up against one. Some dude named Kirk leads
+them.
*Kirk
+He's the leader of some weird dudes out there - security officers
+or something. Don't know much about him. Nobody has ever talked to him and
+got away in one piece.
*MEDKIT
+Ask Hadley about that....
-Whatever you say, dude....
@Later, dude. Hope to see you again in one piece.
:2
#Jeffrey
!Hi there! My names Jeffrey. Just got back from the wasteland this morning.
!I took out three terminators with my bare hands.... And that was while I
!was blindfolded!!! So, whats up?
*JOB
+I'm a trainee here. But actually, I am the best warrior here at the base. It's
+a secret, ya know...
*NAME
+They call me Jeffrey. Don't know my last name - my parents were killed by
+death commandos when I was very young. I got my revenge though - killed fifty
+of them just last week.
*BLINDFOLDED
+Yeah, I was blindfolded. Wish someone had been there to see it though. The
+guys here at Sacre Base don't believe me. Next time, I'll tie a hand behind
+my back as well. Or maybe two hands... Terminators are easy to kill. At least
+for an ace warrior like me.
*TERMINATOR
+The Terminator is a pretty wimpy machine. At least for me... It might be a
+bit more difficult for someone less skilled like yourself.
*YOURSELF
+You really need to practice some more. I would try to train you myself,
+but I am really too busy hunting terminators. Perhaps someone less
+experienced than myself could help you. Defs Sacre, perhaps. I tought him
+everything I know.
*RECRUIT
+I'm not a recruit - they just think I am. Beaurocratic stuff, you know. I'm
+really an ace warrior. Never get any credit though.
*BART
+Who told you that? Someone is spreading rumors around about me. Of course
+I was not beat up by a Bart. I mean, come on, be serious, I hunt Terminators
+for a living!
-Oh, who cares about that. I don't deal with such wimpy things.
@Good. You've delayed me long enough. I got to go back to the wasteland and
@kill odd a cyclops or two.
:3
#Hadley
!Names Hadley, Troy Hadley. You wouldn't have any steaks, would you? ... Oh
!never mind. What you want, dude?
*JOB
+I'm a tech for the store room here at the base - My main specialty is
+devices and accessories. Need to know anything about a particular devices?
*NAME
+Troy Hadley. Can't you read?
*DEVICE
+I did some work on the LRScan and Scanner for example. They're pretty useful
+when you're stuck in a bind. I also did some work on the GS-224 Laptop. Nice
+machine.
*LRSCAN
+The LRSCAN locks into one of them spy satellites that was abandoned after
+the war. It can generate you a 9 by 9 map of your current grid location. I
+hear they work good if you get lost. There is also a LRScan ROM/Adapter
+that will give a GS-224 laptop lrscan capability.
*SCANNER
+Scanners? Designed the prototype myself. It sends out a scanning beam and
+can give you a bearing and distance to nearby objects - like holes and
+towns and such. Nice for exploring unfamiliar territory. There is also
+a Scanner ROM/Adapter that will give your GS-224 laptop scanner
+capability.
*RADIO
+The field radio isn't really a necessity - but if you get stuck in the
+wasteland and want to talk with somebody, it can be quite nice. One day
+ol' Jeffrey called in on his claiming he'd slayed a terminator. We all ran
+out to see and it turned out to be a robotic vacuum cleaner. Damn thing beat
+the hell out of Jeffrey too! We all got a good laugh out of that one.
*MEDKIT
+I'm not a doctor so I don't know much about them. I know they make the
+medecine out of herbs that they locate out in the wasteland. That's why
+you can sell herbs for so high around here. If a guy could build his own
+medkit producer and gather up some herbs, he might be able to make himself
+a nice business.
*RATIONS
+Yuck! Those things are disgusting. Made from dead rad hounds and such. But,
+they're about all we can mass-produce around here. I bet the supply store
+would pay a good price for some good ol' fashioned steaks if you could find
+some.
*STEAK
+I sure wish I could get my hands on some steaks. These damn troop rations
+taste horrible. I sent word to the manager of the Horticulture center a
+while ago, but nothing...
*HORT
+The horticulture station is somewhere west of here in the freedom mountains.
+It's to the south of freedom city, just past the pylon. You can't miss it.
+Take the main highway and head west. If you bring me back them steaks the
+manager promised me, there'll be something special in it for you....
*ROPE
+Rope? Just somethin' the supply station tries to sell you. Has no real
+purpose whatsoever.
*LAPTOP
+The Laptop is one of my favorites. It's got a 80686JX processor equipped with
+an 80 meg ram drive and a ROM cartidge adapter. The ROM cartidge adapter is
+really nice. Lets you upload any ROM apps that you want into the laptop.
*ROM
+The computer store in the supply station sells a variety of ROM apps. I've
+heard you can find even more out in the wasteland. Any particular ROM that
+you are interested in?
*NOTES
+The notes ROM is pretty cool. We designed it for adventurers like Defs Sacre
+who have a habit of forgetting things. It will automatically record any
+hole up/down, towns, etc that you pass. You can then read it any time you
+want.
*RANKINGS
+The rankings ROM uses the laptop's built in RF Modem to call up Sacre Base
+and grab the player rankings for you.
*VIEWLOG
+The viewlog ROM uses the laptop's built in RF Modem. It calls up Sacre Base
+and grabs the log of recent activity for you to view.
*TRANSFER
+The transfer program uses the laptop's fiber optic link. You attach the link
+to another laptop and you can grab any software you want off of it. Nice if
+you find somebody else's laptop and want to grab some apps off of it.
*AUTONAV
+Autonav is something we are working on to automatically navigate you to a
+certain coordinate on the wasteland. It's currently in the experimental
+stage.
*FORTLIST
+The fortlist program will display a listing of any fortresses you own. It
+displays their coords, name, owner, products for sale/buy, objects in the
+store room, and energy and med doses on hand. In addition to the bases that
+you own, it will list any bases registered with the trading union.
*CSTATS
+The CSTATS (stands for combat-stats) program will tell you your hit/miss
+chances against various monsters. I compiled the monster database myself.
*WHIZ
+You've been speaking with Whiz? Good guy. I sent him out on assignment
+a while ago to investigate some software hacks.
*SOFTWARE
+Whiz knows a bit more than me. He's on assignment in freedom city if you
+wish to speak with him.
-Dunno about that. Devices are my specialty.
@Later, dude.

#Mayor Eastwood
!Go ahead punk, make my day! Er.. uh.. My Father used to say that. Name's
!Eastwood. Mayor Eastwood. What do you want?
*NAME
+The name is Eastwood. Mayor Eastwood. Now don't ask again, punk.
*JOB
+I'm the mayor of Freedom City.
*PYLON
+The pylon is just south of here. Kind of a half-way between us and the
+horticulture station. Nobody in here has been able to figure out what the
+pylon is for....
*FREEDOM CITY
+We established the city a few years ago to provide a defense against the
+scum out there.
*SCUM
+It's those death warriors who cause most of the trouble. Always tryin' to
+rob anyone who wanders around unprotected. They're a real menace. Come up
+from their headquarters to the south.
*HORT
+The horticulture center is our pride and joy. It has a protective dome that
+keeps the harmful radiation away from our crops. The center is just a
+little southwest of the city. We sell various food products at a decent
+price.
-Now look punk! I ought to... Uh.. Sorry... Can't help you there.
@Alright. But stay out of trouble. We're a peaceful establishment.
:5
#Joe Farmer
!Hey dude. How's it going. Name's Joe Farmer. I got the name 'cuz I used to
!work at the horticulture center.
*Name
+Joe Farmer. At your service.
*Job
+I cultivated some of the crops down at the horticulture center. Was a pretty
+easy job. I came here to freedom city to become an adventurer!
*Hort
+The horticulture center? It's a pretty neat place. They grow lots of crops
+there. Also raise some cattle - their stakes are the best meals in the whole
+wasteland. The protective dome over the center keeps the radiation out.
+Thats how they grow the crops.
*Adven
+Yeah, I want to be an adventurer.
-I'm just a farmer. I don't know about such things...
@See you later.
:6
#Whiz
!How's it going? They call me Whiz. I'm a computer technician. I'm currently
!doing a job for Troy Hadley.
*NAME
+Whiz. I work on computers. That's my job.
*JOB
+Troy Hadley sent me out here to look for some special "hacked" laptop
+software we heard about. Once I get the information together, I'll be
+heading back to Sacre Base.
*SOFTWARE
+There are several rumors we have heard about these hacked computer programs.
+We don't know who wrote em, but we're pretty interested. One of them is
+called the "EMWARP" program.
*EMWARP
+It stands for emergency warp. I'm not supposed to tell people too much
+about this, but Defs Sacre brought a device called a "Warper" into Troy
+one morning. We looked into it. The technology was far out - real far out.
+The device could "teleport" a person to a different location! Anyways,
+getting to the point. The "EMWARP" program will interface the laptop with
+this device. When a person is about to die, the program will evaluate it,
+and activate the warper. I wish I could find one of these roms.
*FIND
+They are rumored to be located on some very dangerous monsters around
+here. You might be able to find the warper device on them as well as the
+emwarp program. It would come in very handy to a person such as you. Good
+luck.
*TROY HADLEY
+He's a real cool guy. Invented half of our devices himself. A good
+programmer too. Once I get this some info on these software hacks, I'll
+give the info to him. Maybe he can do something with it.
-Don't know about that....
@Good luck, friend. Be careful out there.
:7
#Trader Rick
!Hello. I'm Trader Rick. What do you want?
*Name
+Trader Rick. I already told you.
*JOB
+I used to be a trader. I was captured by some warriors and brought into
+Freedom City where I was rehabilitated.
*REHAB
+They tought me how evil my ways were.
*TRADER
+Yes, I am ashamed that I was one of the evil traders. The people here at
+Sacre Base have rehabilitated me. I now try to help adventurers by giving
+them information.
*INFORM
+I'm sure most of the stuff you already know. Wait... I have something here
+that might help you. Some of my fellow traders knew of the location of
+the entrance to the Deadwood Forest; Where the Black Widow camp is located.
+I never knew the location, but some of the others may have. A word of
+caution though - the Black Widows are tough. You better be damn strong
+before you venture near their camp.
-I'm sorry, but I cannot help you.
@Go in peace, my friend.
:8
#Mean Max
!And just what the hell do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?
*Name
+They call me Mean Max. For obvious reasons.
*Job
+What's it to you? Oh anyhow, I'm an adventurer. I have been all around the
+world. Pulled quite a few missions in my time.... Is there a point to this?
+Do you want something?
*Mission
+Like the time I drove a fuel truck through hostile country. Now, that was
+a real mess. And the fools filled the damn thing up with sand! Damn near
+got killed defending a truckload of sand!
*Busy
+Yes, B U S Y. I don't have time to talk to people such as yourself. I got
+my Job to tend to.
*Adventurer
+Are you going to bother me all day? I'm an adventurer. Can you say
+adventurer? Ad-ven-tur-er. Now if you don't mind, I do have more
+important things to tend to.
*Important
+Like putting a hole between your eyes if you don't stop bugging me. Why
+don't you go bother Jeffrey? Or defs sacre? They just bum around the
+base all day. But me, I actually get some work done.
*WORK
+I kill things. Monsters, wasteland gangs, bad guys, OBNOXIOUS
+ADVENTURERS, whatever. Now, please leave me alone.
*ALONE
+I said, "LEAVE ME ALONE". [He unsheaths a Neutron Blaster and points
+it in your direction]
*NEUTRON
+Yeah, a Neutron Blaster. Never seen one of these before? Well, your about
+to get a demonstration of what one will do if you don't get outa my face!
*DEMON
+[Blam! You are momentary blinded. When you regain your senses, you notice
+you have obtained quite a suntan across your face!] That was aimed 25
+degrees left of your face. [You notice a large smoking hole in the wall
+in line with that trajectory] Unless you want to see what one feels like
+head on, you better get out of my space.
*SPACE
+That did it! [He draws again! As timely as always, Defs Sacre appears and
+calms down Mean Max explaining to him that adventurers these days are
+quite curious and he should be a bit more kindly and spread his knowledge]
*FUEL
+Yeah, Fuel. You know, gasoline? Look, are you stupid or something? Why
+don't you go out and find out about these things yourself.
*GASOLINE
+With the recovery of atomic power technology, the need for fuel has died
+off heavily, but it is still an important commodity. The base will pay a
+hefty fee for any fuel that you can recover. Now if you don't mind, I am
+very busy.
*WORLD
+At least whats left of it. Far as I can tell, the nukes hit just about
+everywhere. I've had contact with other continents and they're in the
+same mess we're in. Rads in the atmosphere gonna destroy us all if we
+don't get that puritron online.
*PURITRON
+Yeah, the Puritron. Last I knew, there was a standing order that all base
+adventurers were ORDERED to go out and find it. Now, it looks to me like
+that is a hell of a lot more vital than standing here pestering me.
-And just what do you mean by that? Get out of my face, punk.
@'Bout time you got out of my way. I got work to attend to.
:9
#Captain Targon
!Hello there soldier, my name's Captain Targon. What can I do for you
!this fine day?
*Name
+Captain Targon. I'm one of the officers here at the base.
*Job
+I do the things that a captain does. Manage troops, coordinate attacks,
+waste bad guys, etc. A really nice job altogether. Lately I've been busy
+trying to figure out what happened to Sergeant Trell though.
*FINE
+Well, perhaps it's not all that fine of a day. Life's been pretty depressing
+since we lost that Puritron device. My entire job lately seems to be
+working on that project.
*PURITRON
+It would have really changed things here in the wasteland. With the
+radioactive contaminants cleared out of the atmosphere, life would be almost
+bearable in the wastelands. The mutations would cease and we might be able
+to bring the entire zone back into civilized control.
*MUTATIONS
+Terrible, terrible thing to happen to a person. Some unknown effect of the
+radiation according to Hadley. Has effects on people like you wouldn't
+believe. You either physically mutate, or you go mentally insane, or a
+combination of both.
*INSANE
+It's sad. Many of our soldiers have gone quite insane out in the wastelands.
+Once powerful forces of good, they are now our enemies just like everything
+else out there. Perhaps once we got the puritron back, there might be
+something we can do for them.
*PHYSICAL
+I don't understand it myself. Something to do with DNA mutation. Causes
+you to be transformed into a whole new creature sometimes. Seen any of the
+humaniod mutants out there? Or the Ant-Men? Or the giant rats? All effects
+of mutation.
*OFFICER
+There's several of us. Defs Sacre actually still holds officer rank even
+though all he does any more is serve drinks here in the tavern. We were
+going to make Sergeant Trell an officer once he came back from his mission,
+but alas, no sign of him.
*CIVILIZED
+I am sure that the entities of the wasteland would join up to form a
+civilized government if we could just bring some order to things....
*TRELL
+We're getting quite worried about him. I sent him off about three weeks
+ago to investigate some reports of an unusual site out in zone three,
+but his reports stopped right as he reached the site.
*SITE
+We had a report from an explorer that there is some kind of military
+building out there. Trell reached the site, and radioed in, but his
+communications were cut off before we could get an accurate report.
*REPORT
+All he said was that "All would be lost if they are not stopped in
+time". We don't know who "they" are or what they are planning on doing,
+but from Trell's tone of voice, it must have been something pretty
+urgent.
-Sorry, maybe you should try talking to Defs Sacre or Troy Hadley. They're
-both quite knowledgable.
@Nice talking to you, soldier - be careful out there.
:100
#Valley Girl
!Like what do you like want? I'm gonna like kill you like right now. Like
!understand?
*KILL
+Like gimme a K! Like gimme an I! Like gimme an L! Like gimme another L!
+I'm gonna like KILL you!
*JOB
+I'm like a mutant like valley girl. I used to be like a cheerleader like
+before the like boom hit.
*NAME
+I don't like know what my name is.
*SEX
+[Game designer intervening here: You are talking about having sex with a
+mutant valley girl. Do you have any idea where this girl has been? If LOD
+had support for diseases, you'd be contracting several of them right now!]
*BOOM
+Yeah, there was like a big boom.
*CHEERLEADER
+Yeah, I was like a cheerleader. Like now like the only thing I like chear
+about is like killing innocent like adventurers!
-Oh, like totally radical!
@Ok. I gotta like kill you now.
:101
#Trader
!So you want to talk. Well. I have a few moments I suppose. I'm still
!going to waste you though. What do you want to know about?
*JOB
+I go around, waste people, take their stuff, and sell it. Very nice
+living. Sacre Base keeps on sending out adventurers like you. Got
+nice weapons, nice armor, etc. Adds to my collection real well.
*NAME
+Let's just say I'm a trader. You don't need to know anything more.
*TRADE
+Yep, a trader. That's my job.
*DEADWOOD
+You want to know the location of the forest, don't you. And just why
+should I help you? I'm going to kill you anyhow.
*KILL
+You're dead as soon as this conversation is over. So what does it really
+matter if you know the location?
*LOCATION
+Oh very well. You are going to die in five minutes anyhow. The entrance
+is at 58, 112. It's a windy mountain trail. Now, can we get on with this?
+I really am looking forward to killing you...
%2
*FOREST
+What forest? The DeadWood Forest?
*WIDOW
+The Black widows. They're located in the Deadwood forest.
*RICK
+Trader Rick? If I ever find him, I'll kill him. He betrayed us. The jerk
+now lives in Freedom city. If he ever steps out into the wasteland though,
+he is dead!
-Who cares...
@Ok. After that conversation, I kinda hate to have to waste you, but
@oh well. It's a living.
:102
#Death Warrior
!Well... Well... Well... Another Sacre Base warrior. You want to talk? Ok.
!lets talk.
*NAME
+My name isn't important. I'm a death warrior. That's all that is important.
*JOB
+I kill people, raid villages, burn towns, etc. It's really quite fun. You
+should try it. Being an adventurer is pretty boring.
-Of course I know that, but I'm not going to tell you.
@Prepare to die, adventurer scum!
:103
#Bart
!Hi. My names Bart Simpon! Who the hell are you?
*NAME
+Bart Simpson, man.
*JOB
+They say I'm a juvinile delinquent. All becuase I beat up some adventurer
+last week. Real bummer, man. Dude's name was Jeffrey.
*JEFFREY
+He's a real wimp, man. He came out into the wasteland. Claimed he was going
+to go hunt terminators. Real wimp, man. I almost wasted him.
*TERM
+Terminators man? They're a real bummer. Worse than Homer.
*WIMP
+He had no weapons or anything. I smacked him once in the head with my
+slingshot, and then nailed him once or twice with my dagger.
*HOMER
+Homer? Homer? HOMER! It's all his fault. He blew up springfield nuclear
+plant!!!! It's all his fault. He caused this. He blew up the power
+plant! [This dude is on a real detour from reality....]
*LISA
+Lisa? My sister Lisa? She grew up an became a mutant valley girl, man.
*MARGE
+Marge? She's toast man. Was with Homer when the plant blew.
-Who cares...
@Ok, man. Enough talk.
:104
#Cabal Warrior
!^Blaafff Golurf Walg Torg!
![Universal Translator Engaged]
!Well, human, it apprears you somehow understand our language. Xeboc will
!be very interested to here about this...
*NAME
+^Quilak gorum bak quil?
+My name is not important, human scum.

#Xeboc
!You are speaking with Xeboc the Almighty! Xeboc the All-Powerful! What is
!it you wish to speak of, mortal.
*job
+I am Xebec the Almighty, Xebec the all-powerful!
*name
+I am Xebec the Almighty, Xebec the all-powerful!
*mortal
+Yes, mortal, your life spans are but a few seconds compared to a being
+such as myself. My power is great, and you humans stand no chance against
+me.
*myself
+I am supreme leader of the Cabal Empire. The most powerful army in the
+universe!
*Power
+I have more power than you could ever conceive of, mortal. Do you realize
+who I am? I am Xeboc the Almighty! Xeboc the All-Powerful! Xeboc the
+destroyer.
*Destroyer
+Foolish mortal, you do not even realize the true circumstances behind your
+nuclear war! Your superpowers did not start the war. They were attempting
+to abolish their nuclear weapons. That did not suit my purposes. With
+only a small percentage of my power, I was able to launch their missiles.
*Purpose
+My purpose is to conquer! To conquer the Earth! To conquer the universe!
+My fleet stand waiting to invade this solar system upon my command. With
+your armies and governments destroyed, you do not stand a chance to defend
+yourselves.
*Fleet
+I command a fleet 25,000 warships strong! My cabal warriors will sweep
+through this system and destroy all lifeforms! The Earth will be mine!
+Everything will be mine!
*Defend
+That was why it was necessary to start your "war". You were progressing
+too fast, soon you would have discovered subatomic drive and developed a
+space fleet of your own. That simply would not do. I had to halt your
+progress.
*Halt
+You'd be surprised how well a few tactical nukes can halt a world's
+progress! It is surprising that all of you worms were not destroyed.
*Cabal
+We, the cabal, are superior to you humans. We will annihilate you!
-Do not waste my time, mortal.

+I knew you'd be back! I knew picard would send someone to hunt me down. I'll

#"Ed"
!Howdy there partner! Name's Ed! (He sets down a MicroNuke that he was
!working on)... I run this here shop.
*NAME
+They call me Ed. That's all you need to know. We don't use last names in this
+business.
*JOB
+I run this here weapons shop.
*SHOP
+Yep, that's right. We're the best darn weapons shop this side of the
+wasteland. We've got Vortex Cells, Pulse Bazookas, whatever you want.
+Just ask and I'll be happy to tell you a about our nice little business
+here.
*VORTEX
+The vortex cell? Well, it's a nice peice of work. Something we've been
+importing from some weapons makers a little deeper in the zone. Ya see,
+most warriors complain about one thing: having to carry all that damn ammo
+around. You need Grav Packs for Gravblasters, Neutron Packs for Neutron
+Sabres, etc. Well, the vortex cell solves all that. For more information,
+please see the little brochures that I have made.
*PULSE
+The pulse weapons (pulse bazooka, pulse rifle, etc) are pretty advanced. For
+example, we field tested the Xenon's surprise the other day out in zone two.
+Wasted terminators in one shot. Truely effective. For more information,
+please see the little brochures that I have made.
*BROCHURE
+They're sitting in the weapons store. Just hit "Show Item" and you'll see
+the information I wrote up.
*BUSINESS
+You want to know about the business? Well, we're basically a retail outlet
+for about a dozen of your various high tech weapon manufacturers. Plus, we
+do some mods ourselves.
*MODS
+Like the vitron cells for example. We've taken the top technology and
+enhanced these units to perform as best as possible. It's simply the best
+ammunition that money can buy. See my brochures for more information.
*RETAIL
+We sell a lot to various soldiers and mercinaries and such. We pride
+ourselves on only selling to the "good guys" so you won't be seeing any
+of our weapons on any monsters out there, unless, of course, they obtained
+them from an unfortunate adventurer.
*MICRONUKE
+These damn things... It's our whole line of mines.... They all got this
+annoying glitch in them. Has to do with fortresses. I'm going to have a talk
+with our suppliers about this.
*FORT
+Alright, I suppose I might as well tell you a little information. Could save
+you some money in the future. It's the triggers on all of our mines. They
+won't detect if a guy walks out of a fortress. One of my major customers
+bought two Day Ruiners, dropped 'em on someones base, then his enemy
+teleported to the fortress, stepped outside and picked the damn things up.
+Out a million five worth of mines. Boys def.... er.. uh.. my client was
+upset. Only happens with fortresses though.
*HAPPEN
+Yeah, as long as the person isn't walking out of a fortress, they're
+history. For example, if My Client (we'll call him "X")... If "X"'s enemy
+was to walk onto to mine from an adjacent terrain cell, he would have been
+wasted. But, he teleported into that fortress and then left the fortress. I
+think it's some kind of built in safety - or something. Anyways, I suppose
+you could always surround a guy's base with mines. Then, the minute he
+walked off, KABOOM!
*SURROUND
+Yeah, just place the mines N/S/E/W of the base and you've got the poor
+b**tard. Or if you got one o' them types who thinks he's so damn smart
+about putting his base with mountains on three of the four sides, then
+all you have to do is mine the one exit... and KABOOM!
*SUPPLIERS
+Uh suppliers? Oh, I didn't mean suppliers. All of our stuff is directly
+issued by Sacre Base. We don't deal in _any_ black market devices... The
+mines well uh... they're a special test marketing attempt by Troy Hadley.
+Yeah, Troy Hadley sent em.... That's where they came from. Those guys who
+accuse us of buying weapons from the Draku's are LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! I
+want to nuke every last one of them! They'll all die! [Ed is becoming
+very upset...]
-Sorry partner, I can't help you there....
@Well, good luck to ya' all.
