| response | - Hmm. I do have a few notes here. You're welcome to them.
- My theory is you're a little off your rocker.
- Uh, if it's free, sure. Thanks.
- University? You're not serious, right?
- We're lucky to even get close to what they knew back then. Well, unless you're the Institute.
- If you get that hospital up and running, yeah, sign me up.
- Most people look at medicine as a business these days. Makes no sense to share stuff with your competition.
- Sure there are. Just a couple hundred years old, though.
- {Sad} If you've brought me some more Bloatfly Glands, why don't you bring them back later. I'm not in the mood to deal with that right now.
- {Worried} I'm afraid something terrible has happened to her.
- That's right. You go out, do some Science! of your own, and come back.
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} That's what Science! is all about. Nothing stays the same. Everything reacts.
- Nuclear power destroyed the world, but without it, Diamond City wouldn't have any electricity!
- That's right. Usually the kids from the schoolhouse are the first to drop by, but I don't see why I can't start the lesson with you.
- {very sad / Somber} If something's happened to her, I don't know what I'm going to do.
- {Worried} Her normal field expeditions never last more than a few days, but it's been over a week now.
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} But some life forms have been living with Gamma radiation exposure for two centuries now, and they've adapted. Neat, huh?
- {you and Professor Scara are partners and often talk about different theories / Happy} Professor! I have a new theory how the Institute makes the synths.
- {player agrees to get the Bloatfly Gland} Remember, bring the gland back in one piece. Oh, and don't chew on it. One of the students got horribly sick because of that mistake.
- {player says there's risks and wants more money / Puzzled} That would explain why some students don't come back... How about 150 caps?
- Don't be afraid to speak your mind.
- Enjoy the field trip!
- Sorry. Very busy right now with an experiment. As soon as I remember which one it is...
- {Thinking} No. Can't say I do. Did you need something from the Science! Center?
- Lost in thought? I know just how that feels.
- Oh, that's the perfect segue into the field trip portion of the lesson! Are you ready?
- {a little confused, but still cheery} Why wouldn't it be? Let's get started.
- Now where did I put those notes...
- {player already has the bloatfly gland / Happy} That-a-boy! Who's my favorite junior scientist? You are!
- {Happy} Here's a little reward for my new junior scientist!
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you / Happy} You have X-Rays, Beta Rays, Gamma Rays... But which one are we most worried about? The one most associated with the big, old bombs 20
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} You might think that, but they key thing to remember is that life is always reacting to its environment. Otherwise, it dies!
- {trying to find an excuse / Depressed} Well.... if something's happened to her... it would be a great loss to the scientific community.
- {your partner, Professor Scara, is missing, and you're worried she might be dead / Depressed} Oh... it's you. If you brought any Bloatfly Glands, why don't you bring them back later. I'm not in the mood to deal with it right now.
- {player already has the bloatfly gland / Happy} That-a-girl! Who's my favorite junior scientist? You are!
- {you and Professor Scara are a classic odd couple, you have a thousand experiments going on at once, she likes to focus on one at a time / Worried} You sure you won't help in my next experiment, Professor?
- {absent-minded, act like you've never met the player before, even though you have / Puzzled} Ah, hello there. Um... did you need something?
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} I, for one, take that as the highest compliment! Science teaches us the lessons we need to survive. Now more than ever.
- I usually have a prize for the best junior scientist, which I guess is just automatically going to you! What do you say?
- {Worried} The last place Professor Scara said she was going is the General Atomics Galleria.
- {Defiant} That was your choice...
- {Depressed} Hmph. Then that makes two of us.
- {Depressed} It's my colleague, Professor Scara.
- {Friendly} All right, then! Take care.
- {Happy} Ah ha! You do want to talk about it!
- {Happy} Oh! That would be wonderful.
- {Happy} That's right!
- {Happy} Yes! Love that enthusiasm.
- {Puzzled} Maybe if you were more specific?
- {Puzzled} Money? Oh. Uh... How about 125 caps?
- {Puzzled} You are? That's strange, so am I.
- {proud / Happy} Magenta.
- Dissecting a Bloatfly can be fun. Just avoid getting stung to death, and you'll be a junior scientist in no time.
- {Nervous} Oh. Then I'm guessing you won't be happy with how I rearranged our bedroom. Sorry, Professor!
- {absent-minded, act like you've never met the player before, even though you have / Puzzled} Oh, yes. Can I help you?
- {Thinking} Well, I don't usually like to pry into her business, but I found some notes on her terminal.
- So what do you say? Ready to go out and dissect one?
- {player is haggling with you, but you're not willing to pay / Happy} This isn't about money. This is about Science! You gotta do it for the love of exploration.
- {Happy} I like to organize them by colors! If the compounds are mostly green, it's a green experiment. Mostly blue? Blue experiment.
- Have fun out there, and don't get killed. That'd be bad for progress.
- {Worried} I'll mark it on your mapping device there.
- That's right. Think of just the right words. That's what I'd do.
- {Thinking} Well, maybe you could do us both a favor and go looking for her.
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you / Happy} Now we all talk about radiation like it's a single thing, but it's actually a term referring to dozens of different ionizing rays.
- {Happy} These glands are definitely the product of adaption to radioactive exposure. Maybe our own insides have adapted, as well. Wouldn't that be something?
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} Now. Gamma rays are bad. Really bad. If your body absorbs too much of that kind of radiation, you'll suffer from fatigue, anemia, even death.
- {Worried} Look, if you find her, could you tell her to come home?
- {player refuses to play along and go on the field trip, crushed, not sure what to do / Sad} Oh... Well everything was kind of building up to... never mind then. Uh, I should get back to the lab.
- Come back once you have that Bloatfly Gland, and you'll earn that prize.
- I'm pretty sure I was supposed to check on something...
- {suddenly remembering who the player is and that you asked him to go on the field trip / Surprised} Oh, the field trip. Of course! Wonderful. Let me just take that.
- Now it's time for the field trip portion of today's lesson! Are you ready?
- {you previously asked the player to look for a Bloatfly, but he turned you down / Friendly} You. Have you changed your mind? Ready to hunt down a Bloatfly Gland for your field trip?
- {enthusiastic about Science!, player has changed walked into your lab / Friendly} Hi there! Are you here for today's free biology lesson?
- {crushed, not sure what to do / Sad} Oh...well, if you're not...um...I guess I'll just get back to the lab then. *sigh*
- {player says he needs more money for science / Puzzled} Well, if it's for science... 200.
- {player answered the question incorrectly} Nope, not quite what we're looking for. The answer is gamma rays!
- Radioactive adaptation has resulted in a unique gland that enables it to balance and maintain speed despite its size.
- {you and Professor Scara are a classic odd couple / Sad} Aww. I was trying to surprise you by cleaning it up. I thought you'd be happy.
- {enthusiastic about Science!, player has changed walked into your lab / Happy} Ready for that free Biology lesson after all?
- There's my junior scientist! Hope you're continuing your own biological field work.
- Go out, find yourself a Bloatfly, collect a gland, and get back here to the rank of junior scientist! Up for it?
- Here's a little something for you. Don't spend it all in one place!
- Did you know in Chemistry you should never mix a base into an acidic compound? Lost a few eyebrows that way, I'll tell ya.
- {Puzzled} Hmm... Don't recall. That might have been before or after I had to vent out an awful lot of semi-toxic gas from the lab...
- {Sad} I'd really prefer to be alone right now. Sorry.
- {your partner, Professor Scara, is missing, and you're worried she might be dead / Depressed} Sorry to let you down, but I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to teach biology lessons today.
- {like you're on TV, teaching a show about science, but the player is just a few feet away from you} You're going to go out, and find a Bloatfly Gland. You see, the oversized Bloatfly of today evolved from an earlier species of smaller fly.
- {absent-minded, act like you've never met the player before, even though you have / Puzzled} I don't recognize you. Something I can do for ya?
- {sobbing a bit, very sad / Somber} Professor and I... we're...well, we're very close.
- {Depressed} Let's just say I take the advancement of science very seriously and leave it at that.
