#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
+a city down on level three or four. 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 RANGE
+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 down on level
+three. Hell of a battle getting the thing.
*LONG RANGE
+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 that 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 lower levels 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 on
+the upper level are pretty wimpy and some are even unarmed. But once you
+go below, 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.
*VALLEY GIRL
+Bunch of em came over from california before the earthquake. They're not hard
+to beat, but they are a neusence. They're all over level one.
*DEATH
+Ah yes, the Death Warriors. They're a nasty bunch. Rumor has it they have
+a city down on level three or four. 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.
*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 on levels two and below. 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 down in the lower levels
+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.
-Whatever you say, dude....
@Later, dude. Hope to see you again in one piece.

#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.
*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.
*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.
-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.

#Hadley
!Names Hadley, Troy Hadley. 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?
*DEVICES
+I did some work on the LRSCAN and SCANNER for example. They're pretty useful
+when you're stuck in a bind.
*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.
*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.
*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.
*ROPE
+Rope is very useful - you need the stuff to get up and down levels.
-Dunno about that. Devices are my specialty.
@Later, dude.
