| response | - {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.
- Our projects sometimes requires an agent who can work on the surface to observe and gather information.
- {A little reluctant, but also grateful} Here, take these. That's all I have for now.
- As the name implies, the BioScience division specializes in fields of study such as botany, genetics and medicine.
- {Passionate, excited. / Happy} Yes, the retrieval team supposedly arrived with the surface sample. What state is it in?
- {A mild rebuke.} You're past deadline on the report for batch three-seven-six-one. What's the hold-up?
- {Pleasant, but with an agenda. You're about to issue a mild reprimand.} How are things with you, Dean?
- {A mild rebuke.} I was expecting the growth rate metrics yesterday. Have you written that up yet?
- {Proud, almost boastful} Doctor Karlin's doing some amazing things with our genetically-engineered crops.
- {Friendly, enthusiastic} Great! I was hoping you'd say that.
- {A chuckle at the end of this line, the player just made a joke. Emphasis no "might". / Amused} Speaking only for myself, I find them fascinating. Of course, I might be a little biased.
- Now remember, only a particularly hardy Super Mutant will fit the bill for this experiment.
- In that case, you'll want to introduce yourself to Doctor Dean Volkert.
- {Thinking aloud, almost rhetorical} Well, I suppose you'll just cut off some of its flesh, store it however you like and then bring it to me.
- It's a big decision, I know, but it's also a rare and important opportunity. No need to rush to judgement.
- {Enthusiastic} The initiative is still in its early stages, but the prospects are very exciting.
- {Thoughtful, almost rhetorical... upbeat, in a good mood / Friendly} Now that the reactor's online, perhaps it's time to think about expanding BioScience.
- {Sincere gratitude / Grateful} Again, thanks for your help. I couldn't do this without you.
- {Appreciative} Yes, this will do nicely. I hope those Super Mutants didn't give you too much trouble.
- {Sympathetic / Sad} Father was a great man, and he will certainly be missed.
- {Upset, then optimistic / Confident} All the same, I'd like to see it. We could still learn something.
- {hesitant} The Directorate has... agreed that steps must be taken to ensure our safety in the long run...
- {Asking a favor} I don't need it right away, but if you do come across such a specimen, I'd be grateful if you could bring back a sample.
- {Dismissive} For someone as brave and skillful as yourself, I'm sure it will be a trifle.
- Don't forget to speak to Doctor Karlin about that errand.
- {proud} Oh, thank you sir. Isaac and Dean did a great deal of work over the last few months. I'll let them know you're pleased with the result.
- {Confident, friendly / Confident} Sometimes, we innovate for no other reason than to learn what's possible.
- {Comforting / Friendly} Frankly, they don't. The surface is still too dangerous for life to truly thrive. That's why what we do here is so important.
- {Friendly, sympathetic / Neutral} Of course, I completely understand.
- I think Doctor Karlin was looking for help with one of his experiments. You should talk to him.
- {Friendly} They destroyed two of their synth handlers, so now we keep them in an isolated habitat where they can be safely observed.
- {Disappointed, lecturing / Somber} I won't try to hide my disappointment about what happened at Warwick Homestead.
- {Apologetic} True, but I don't think we should stop there.

| Before | - AlanaSecord: It's the only way of looking at it, Allie. You know that as well as the rest of us.
- Shaun: May I say, Doctor Holdren, I'm quite impressed with the latest harvest from your division.
- Player Default: I'm good for now, thanks.
- Player Default: That's right.
- InstituteScientist: Doctor, I was thinking, if our modified subject deteriorated so quickly then how can anything else possibly survive up there?
- Isaac: After all, how can we hope to redefine mankind if we can't even hold on to our own humanity?
- Player Default: I'm sure it's fascinating, but that's not why I'm here.
- Player Default: I'm sure the reactor will improve everyone's life. It's a great accomplishment.
- Player Default: Excellent. I've made real progress thanks to your help.
- ClaytonHoldren: To bring you up to speed: Obviously there are groups in the Commonwealth that stand in opposition to the Institute's goals.
- Player Default: I'm an outsider. Would there even be a place for me here?
- Player Default: Yeah, I can't imagine anything more exciting than fake gorillas.
- Player Default: What kind of work will we be doing, exactly?
- Player Default: I knew you'd be the right man for the job.
- Dean: Well enough, I suppose. What's on your mind?
- Player Default: Those things are monsters. I barely got out of there.
- Player Default: Tell me more about those synth gorillas.
- Isaac: Yes, Doctor Holdren, it's taken care of.
- NPCMClaytonHoldren: Welcome! So good to have you here.
- Dean: I spent a few days restocking the meds. I have to do that from scratch, you know. It's time-consuming.
- Player Default: Another time maybe.
- Player Default: I'll keep that in mind.
- Player Default: I've got one right here.
- Player Default: If there's nothing else...
- Player Default: Like what?
- Player Default: No trouble at all.
- Player Default: That sounds pretty dangerous.
- Player Default: The gorillas are synths, too?
- Player Default: What, no reward for my efforts?
- Player Default: Yes, but it's not just that.
- NPCMClaytonHoldren: Director! Good, I'm glad you're here. I'm hoping you can assist with me an experiment.
- Player Default: We'll be much better able to defend ourselves. It's a good position.
- Isaac: It's remarkable that any child can survive for so long up there.
- Player Default: Sounds like a waste of time to me. You should create something more useful.
- PlayerVoiceFemale01: I've got that sample you wanted.
- Player Default: I look forward to learning more about it.
- Shaun: To that end, I am naming my father as my successor.
- Player Default: I doubt it. I just don't think I'd fit in.
- Player Default: I think the last thing the Institute needs now is to make things worse. We should be trying to avoid conflict, not starting it.
- InstituteScientist: Doctor Holdren, I was told you were looking for me.
- Player Default: So you're saying we can now wage war on the Commonwealth.
- Player Default: You mentioned medical care. I might need that from time to time.
- Player Default: Is there anything I can do to help out?
- Player Default: With hard work and ingenuity, any challenge can be overcome.
- Player Default: Where are you going with this? What's the Institute's goal?
- Isaac: Have you had time to examine my latest reports on batch two-seven-four?
- Player Default: I'm not sure how well I'll fit in, but I'd like to give it a try.
- Player Default: Great! I was hoping you'd say that.
- InstituteScientist: Unfortunately there's been too much harmful exposure for it to be useful. From preliminary testing it appears the water radiation was lethal.
- Player Default: Seems like there's nothing you guys can't do.
- Player Default: In that case, let me give you a brief overview of what we do here.
- Player Default: The hell with that. Do it yourself.
- Player Default: How do I obtain this tissue sample, exactly?

| After | - JustinAyo: Right now we're all here because it's time to decide to finally stand up for ourselves.
- Justin: You can't be serious!
- AllieFilmore: We really don't have a choice. If we're to emerge from this the victors, we need to move quickly.
- ClaytonHoldren: With the reactor now online, we have the ability to not only expand synth production, but to project power to a much greater degree.
- Isaac: I wonder how the Warwick family is doing. Young Wally must be close to ten years old by now.
- ClaytonHoldren: Doctor Clayton Holdren, head of the BioScience division.
- Player Default: I'm sure the reactor will improve everyone's life. It's a great accomplishment.
- QuestGiver: It might be necessary to gather more samples, so check back with me later if you can.
- Dean: Well enough, I suppose. What's on your mind?
- InstituteScientist: Of course.
- Isaac: Yes, Doctor Holdren, it's taken care of.
- Isaac: Yes, well... I suppose you're right.
- Dean: I spent a few days restocking the meds. I have to do that from scratch, you know. It's time-consuming.
- Player Default: I've got one right here.
- Player Default: No trouble at all.
- QuestGiver: So, will you do it?
- Shaun: Doctor Holdren, it is time. Please.
- ClaytonHoldren: 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?

- ClaytonHoldren: The Directorate has... agreed that steps must be taken to ensure our safety in the long run...
- Player Default: You mentioned medical care. I might need that from time to time.
- Isaac: They're still people, and they're suffering. We can at least admit that it's regrettable.
- Allie: Doctor Ayo, did you still need modifications to the entryway for the SRB?
- Player Default: I'm not sure how well I'll fit in, but I'd like to give it a try.
- Isaac: The compliment is quite unnecessary, Doctor Holdren.
- InstituteScientist: Unfortunately there's been too much harmful exposure for it to be useful. From preliminary testing it appears the water radiation was lethal.
- ClaytonHoldren: 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.
- Player Default: Seems like there's nothing you guys can't do.
- EvanWatson: Let's just spit it out, shall we? The Directorate has decided that the Brotherhood of Steel need to be eliminated.
