This is a sub-page of Proto:Fallout: New Vegas/April 17, 2010/Unused Audio.

Dialogue for an earlier, more complicated version of the quest. This dialogue reveals that the first stage of the quest was originally more complex, with the player needing to obtain permission to update station security. There was a cut outcome here also, to sabotage the Rangers instead. The second stage of the quest was more involved also, with the player needing to visit all six stations, as opposed to just three in the final. There is a lot of additional dialogue present too, which provides more info on the factions and characters involved in the quest.

Camp Forlorn Hope

Tech Sergeant Reyes#

Tech Sergeant Reyes has a lot of dialogue for the quest Return to Sender that is either additional commentary or pertains to unused scenarios.

To do:
Finish matching player lines and cleaning this section.

Station Security Upgrade#

Reyes would use this dialogue when offering the quest to the player. The first two lines of dialogue listed are present in the final build; they are included here to help provide context for the third line which is unused and intended to be played at the end of the sequence.

Dialogue for accepting and refusing this part of the quest.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'll help.
Reyes	I'll upload an encryption program to your Pip-Boy. Travel to the Ranger stations and speak with the officers in charge of radio traffic.	0010D8FF
Reyes	Have them use the program on your Pip-Boy and it will scramble, so that any eavesdropper hears static.	0010D8FF
Reyes	When you're done, come back and I'll pay you in caps for your effort.	0010D8FF
Player	I'll add It to my list of nice things to do on behalf of total strangers. Bye.
Reyes	Good luck. Oh, and before you go, I'll update your Pip-Boy with the locations of the Ranger Stations you need to visit.	0010E004
Player	I'm not really interested in any of this - Goodbye.
Reyes	I guess I'll find someone else.	0010D8F8
Player	Not interested. Bye.
Reyes	Your loss.	0010D8F6

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	-
Reyes	Great. The program is uploaded to your Pip-Boy, along with location markers for the Ranger stations.	0010e003
Reyes	Come back when you're done and I'll throw some caps your way, and put a nice little mention of your name in my report. Good luck.	0010e003

These lines would be used when turning in the quest.

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Yes. I'm done.
Reyes	I'll switch over all radio broadcasts to the new encrypted channels. This ought to help us stay ahead of any spies.	0010E904
Reyes	You know, I've been lobbying command to get this done for weeks. Guess if you want something done right, don't trust the military to get it done.	0010E904
Player	How about I just upload my Pip-Boy journal and we can talk about it later.
Reyes	Sure, we can do that. Come talk to me in a bit after I've read everything. Here's your payment, thanks for everything.	00127AF1

The player could also try for additional payment.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	We need to discuss additional payment...
Reyes	Well, I plan to tell the command staff that you're trustworthy and effective, but I guess maybe a nice word and a few caps isn't enough.	00127AD5
Reyes	I'm paying you out of my own pocket here, and NCR troopers aren't exactly the wealthy upper crust of society.	00127AD5
Player	Yes, I'm done. And we need to discuss additional payment... (Alternate)
Reyes	I'll switch over all radio broadcast to the new encrypted channels, this ought to help us to. Wait, what do you mean by "additional payment"?	001199A2

Sabotage#

These lines are intended for a cut outcome to the first part of the quest where the player could hijack the stations instead of upgrading them. They would then be able to extort Reyes for a sum of money, or cover up for their actions.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I added a program that will send an untraceable, duplicate broadcast.
Reyes	The next thing out of your mouth had better be pretty convincing, or I'm calling the guards.	0011C11F
Player	Go ahead and call the guards.
Reyes	Guards!	0011C117
Player	I've modified some of the station signals to broadcast duplicate signals.
Reyes	You've done what?	0011C11A
Player	Pay up or you'll have every enemy listen into your radio network.
Reyes	Son of a bitch, you've got to be shitting me.	0011C10F

Here the player would tell Reyes how many stations had been affected by their program, with a higher number of stations earning a more substantial payment from Reyes:

Speaker	Text
Player	I'll tell you which station is leaking information to the enemy, for a price...
Player	Two of your stations are compromised, I suggest you meet my demands.
Player	Half of your stations are leaking signals to the enemy, it'd be wise to pay me.
Player	Four of your stations were compromised...I'd say that's worth a hefty price.
Player	Five of your stations were compromised...I'd say that's worth a hefty price.
Player	Every station has been affected by my program. Nothing a few caps can't solve.

This is her response:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Reyes	Seriously, fuck you. I'd call the guards and have them force feed you your own intestines.	0011C12A
Reyes	But it's my stupid fault for trusting you, and the blame will rest on me for this giant security leak.	0011C12A
Reyes	Fine, I'll meet your demands. Here, take this and pray I that I don't run into you again.	0011C12A
Player	Bye.
Reyes	Go to hell.	00127AFE
Player	Pleasure doing business. Goodbye.
Reyes	Don't bother coming around again.	0011C118

There was also a barter check of 47 where the player would convince Reyes to pay them even more caps.

Speaker	Dialogue	File
Player	You should be paying me extra, I just made you the hero of the day.
Reyes	Thanking you? What crazy combination of drugs are you on?	0011C12B
Player	Now you get to claim you discovered a vital leak and fixed it. That looks good.
Reyes	I-I can't believe what I'm hearing. But you're right, I guess I can spin this into a promotion.	0011C11D
Reyes	Oh shit, now I'm falling into your way of thinking. I'm going to take a long cold shower. Take this and leave.	0011C11D
Player	<barter for even more @ 47>
Reyes	You know what I can also afford to do? Have everyone in the camp use you as target practice. Get lost.	0011C12C

The player could pass a speech check of 60 to convince her to let them proceed with the next task regardless:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	You can trust me. If I wanted to sabotage you, I'd have said nothing.
Reyes	I suppose you're right. Look, I have another job that needs doing. I'm not sure if I can trust you but at least I know you're capable.	00127AEC
Player
Reyes	Don't bother coming 'round again.	00127AED

These dialogue exchanges are for the player helping Reyes to undo the leak.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Here are the details - this should be enough for the Rangers to undo them.
Reyes	I see. Well, thanks.	0012441E
Player	-
Reyes	Give me a moment here. I appreciate the gesture, I'm just recovering from the urge to kill you I had five seconds ago.	0011C123

A dialogue for issuing a warning of sorts to Reyes, it is not yet understood where this would fit:

Speaker	Dialogue	File
Player	Your security systems are too easily compromised
Reyes	Is this some kind of joke? If so, I'm not laughing.	0011C122
Player	No, this was just a warning.
Reyes	A warning? What are you talking about?	0011C115
Player	That's all.
Reyes	Okay, thanks for the warning I guess. There's- never mind. Just get going.	00127B16

Investigate The Questionable Reports#

This dialogue is to introduce stage 2 of the quest, which saw the player investigate a series of questionable reports that have been received from the ranger stations.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What sort of troubling reports are we talking about?
Reyes	We've had reports of super mutants working for Caesar, trained deathclaws and shortages of vital supplies.	0010e001
Reyes	If all of this is true, someone's going to need to reassess just how much manpower it's going to take to man this area.	0010e001
Reyes	And frankly, some of the troopers are getting word of these reports, and it's beginning to effect morale.	0010e001
Player	Can't you just call the stations and talk to them?
Reyes	Been trying that for a while now. The Comm Officers are good chaps, and they help me corroborate some facts and figures.	00127acb
Reyes	But my unsolved cases involve matters reported by senior rangers who live in the field and rarely, if ever, pick up the radio.	00127acb
Reyes	The best Rangers tend to be a touch anti-social. So I'd need you to find them on patrol and talk face to face.	00127acb
Player	Is there a short version to this?
Reyes	Point is - less than a third of report enemy sightings are getting intercepted. Either out intel is faulty, or our enemy is one step ahead of us.	0010d2d2
Reyes	I suspect someone is listening into the NCR Rangers radio network. I need to have their radio stations updated with new encryptions.	0010d2d2
Player	Your welcome.
Reyes	Before you go, I want to propose another task for you. You proved yourself to be dependable, and I need someone I can trust.	00127ad0
Player	There's more?
Reyes	As much as I enjoy being the NCR's paperwork whore, I actually do have ambitions of moving up to a higher position.	00127b09
Reyes	I have a stack on unfinished case files, and I'll never get promoted If I can't finish a bunch of after action reports. Maybe you can help.	00127b09
Player	Let me guess - your childhood dream job was military auditor?
Reyes	Yes, just like you apparently wanted to be a smartass when you were a kid. Good job on that.	0011c11c

Some dialogue exchanges for either accepting or refusing this part of the quest:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'll take the job.
Reyes	Here's a list of reports that aren't matching up with the numbers of my end.	0010e002
Reyes	A lot of these reports include some pretty terrifying anecdotes and they're causing some rumours and mutterings amongst the NCR Troopers.	0010e002
Reyes	If you can confirm or deny these matters I'll try and find some way to pay you for your trouble.	0010e002
Player	I'll report back when I'm done.
Reyes	Here's a list of what I need. Good luck.	00127adb
Player	I'm much too busy. Not interested.
Reyes	I see. Well, the offers open if you change your mind.	00127ad4
Player	I'm busy right now - maybe later.
Reyes	Fine then.	0010d8fe

Reyes would check in with the player to see where they were up to with regards to their investigation.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	No, not yet.
Reyes	Well, get back out there and report when you're done.	0010eb1c
Player	I will. Bye.
Reyes	Good luck.	00127b06
Player	I'll report back when I'm done. Bye.
Reyes	Be careful out there.	00127b20

This dialogue is used for reporting back on the results of the player's investigations at each of the Ranger Stations. Note that there are dialogue exchanges for all six stations, as opposed to just three in the final game.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I've done as much investigation as I can stomach - here's my report.
Reyes	Okay, did you follow up on the reports I asked about?	0010e905
Player	I talked to Ranger Lineholm at Alpha Station...
Reyes	Did you confirm the numbers for the Ranger casualties?	00127b04
Player	There haven't been any real losses - your data is wrong.
Reyes	My data is wrong? Fat chance of that. I have nothing better to do than triple check every figure that comes by my desk.	0011c116
Reyes	Still, I trust Lineholm at her word. Someone's feeding me bad intel but it's not her.	0011c116
Player	I followed up on the supply issue at Bravo station...
Reyes	Great, what's the situation?	00127b21
Player	They're swimming in munitions - they're receiving constant unwanted shipments.
Reyes	That explains why they haven't called in for supplies. Still, if we can't get our supply network in order, what hope do we have against Caesar?	00127b13
Player	So about the medical supplies at Charlie station...
Reyes	Thanks for checking on that, do they have excess first aid gear that could be redistributed?	0011c11b
Player	Yes, someone sent a wealth of supplies in response to a broken leg.
Reyes	Strange. We're not exactly swimming in surplus medicine, though I guess I'm not surprised that Rangers get supply side favouritism.	0011c114
Player	I'm done. And I found Charlie Station destroyed.
Reyes	The Station's been silent for quite some time now. I guess this confirms what we've all feared. Thanks for letting me know.	00127af8
Player	The station has been overrun and picked clean.
Reyes	This is terrible news, I'll inform Ranger command.	0011c120
Player	I looked into the report of the report of the Super Mutants operating near Delta Station...
Reyes	How many are there? I hope we'll have the firepower to put these monsters down.	0011c110
Player	No. No such sighting ever happened.
Reyes	Well, I'm relieved that's just a rumour, still I need to figure out who started this whole story in the first place.	0011c11e
Reyes	A lot of the NCR soldiers take these rumours to heart. We're not gonna secure The Strip and Hoover Dam if morale is failing.	0011c11e
Player	I went to Foxtrot Station to get a confirmation about those deathclaws…
Reyes	I'd like to believe the Rangers killed all the deathclaws, but I'm sure that's wishful thinking.	00127ae0
Player	They said they reported no such thing.
Reyes	I knew there was something strange about that report, but Foxtrot is far away, and it's hard to get a reliable signal to call in a confirmation.	00107761
Player	You can check Echo station off your list...
Reyes	Great, what did you find out?	00127adf
Player	The senior officer says sightings have been sparse recently - your data is wrong.
Reyes	Well, that's just strange. That means the Rangers are sending me the wrong figures, or an enemy is sending bogus reports.	0011c12e
Reyes	Either way, thanks for following up on that. I knew there was something wrong with the numbers.	0011c12e

These are lines for wrapping up this stage of the quest, as well as her reactions to the player findings regarding the questionable reports received from the six stations:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	-
Reyes	Mystery solved. I'm sure the soldiers will be glad to know it's just a rumor. Now I need to find out who started that rumor.	0011c113
Player	-
Reyes	Hmmmm. What else did you find out?	0011c116

When turning in this stage of the quest, the player had the option to attempt a barter check of 55 to increase their reward. Dialogue directions are from Fallout_Release_Beta.22.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	You've been more than generous with money - I was thinking in terms of supplies.
Reyes	Oh, well of course. You walked across the Mojave and back for me.	00127af3
Reyes	The joy of being a logistics co-ordinator is knowing when there is a surplus. Here, the camp won't collapse overnight if this went missing.	00127af3
Player	Maybe you can pay me in... other ways. If you know what I mean. Eh?
Reyes	[Offended] No, I don't know what you mean by that. Whatever rumours you've heard about me on The Strip, stay on the Strip.	00127af4

Confront Chief Hanlon#

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	And that's everything.
Reyes	Excellent. Here's your payment for your services rendered. I'll be able to finalise my reports.	00122875
Reyes	And sadly, my report is going to include that we have a traitor in our radio network. The misinformation is too widespread to be an outside source.	00122875
Reyes	If you're up for it, I have one last task I need you to do. Speak to Chief Hanlon at Camp Golf.	00122875

Dialogue for accepting and refusing this part of the quest.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I can speak to him for you.
Reyes	The Rangers in the field broadcast all message to Camp Golf, then Camp Golf echoes back to all the field stations, then to my station.	0012286b
Reyes	I'd bet all the caps in the world that a traitor in Camp Golf is responsible for the rumors and inaccuracies being reported.	0012286b
Reyes	Chief Hanlon is the ultimate authority of the Rangers here in Vegas, and he needs to know there's most certainly a traitor in his ranks.	0012286b
Player	I'm done - speak to him yourself.
Reyes	Fine. I've already sent you on enough errands, but if you have a change of heart, consider making a stop at Camp Golf.	0012286d
Reyes	Chief Hanlon is the ultimate authority of the Rangers here in Vegas, and he needs to know there's most certainly a traitor in his ranks.	0012286d

Conclusion: These lines would be used when concluding the quest.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm done. Here's what I have to report.
Reyes	Great, what did you find out?	00127acd
Player	It's complicated. Hanlon caused the misinformation - now he wants to fix things.
Reyes	Wait, what? Hanlon's the traitor? That's preposterous, why would he do that?	00127acc

This is for an outcome where the player opts to keep Hanlon's misinformation a secret.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	It's complicated. Hanlon caused the misinformation - now he wants to fix things.
Reyes	Hanlon's a war hero and a true Ranger, I knew if you put your heads together you'd find the truth of the matter.	00122c45
Reyes	I would have bet caps on their being a traitor within the ranks. But if I was half decent at gambling, I'd be a Brahmin baron, not a desk jockey.	00122c45
Reyes	With the encryption updated and the spy rooted out, the Rangers can more easily warn us of incoming threats. Thanks for all of your hard work.	00122c45

These lines would play if the player and Hanlon opted to help him end his misinformation. In this version of the quest, Hanlon directs the player back to Reyes and asks her to help him fix things.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	=
Reyes	What? Hanlon...but he's a legend. He's...he's...	00122c47

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	He wanted to scare the NCR into retreating - all to save lives.
Reyes	I'm not sure what to say. I mean, I guess it worked. Stories of Caesar's super mutants, and stories of Rangers being killed left and right.	00127af0
Reyes	But all he ended up doing was scaring the conscripted men and women. NCR is too stubborn to let caution influence their decisions.	00127af0
Reyes	So what exactly did you and Hanlon conspire to do now? You said he wants to fix this? How?	00127af0

This is for an outcome where the player convinces Reyes that exposing Hanlon causes more damage to the NCR in the long run.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	This secret stays between us three, and he quits sending bad intel.
Reyes	I guess that makes sense. If we report him and get him ousted, who will lead in his place? Nobody's revered as highly as he is.	00127ac9
Reyes	If he stood trial, we'd just deprive the NCR of a hero figure, and probably get someone with a whole new set of flaws as a replacement.	00127ac9
Reyes	Okay, I agree. Let's make this happen. Now I just need to figure out how I'll phrase my report.	00127ac9

These lines would play if the quest ended with Hanlon's suicide:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Yes, things ended badly - he was the traitor, now he's dead.
Reyes	What? Chief Hanlon...the man's a war hero. Why would he?	00122c4b
Player	He was trying to scare the NCR command into leaving New Vegas, to save lives.
Reyes	I see...well, that explains the crazy rumors and exaggerated enemy contact and casualty numbers.	00122c4f
Reyes	With every radio message going through Hanlon's desk, he could've kept his misinformation campaign going for quite some time.	00122c4f
Reyes	What a damn shame. I'm thankful for your help, without your tenacity who knows what Hanlon's meddling would have caused?	00122c4f

These would play if the player told Hanlon he would help them, but later goes back on their word:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	On second thought, this plan is crazy - report him and have him court martialled.
Reyes	Well, he's the only person who hears every incoming and outgoing radio signal. If anyone could pull off this sort of deception it'd have to be him.	00127b11
Reyes	Well, you did the right thing by telling me. I'll take it from here. You've done a great service for the NCR. Thanks again.	00127b11

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	-
Reyes	Oh right, thanks for your help. Why the hell would he do something like this?	00122c42
Reyes	I guess I need to finish up my report on the matter. I'll put in a good word for you. Thanks again for your help.	00122c42

Comm Offciers

This is dialogue for the Comm Officers involved in stage 1 of this quest.

Comm Officer Castillo#

Castillo has unused lines which reference the original scenario for the Return to Sender quest.

Some generic lines for the character:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Castillo	This place is off-limits to civilians, maybe you ought to turn yourself around.	0010FA64
Player	Seen anything unusual around these parts?
Castillo	Yeah, I saw this wastelander just walk up to me, and start making conversation. Was the craziest thing I'd seen in years.	0011678A
Player	Goodbye.
Castillo	Don't go getting yourself killed now.	00116549
Player	On that note, I really ought to be going.
Castillo	Yeah, move along.	0011654F

Here the player would ask him about updating the station's security:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm on assignment for the NCR - I need to speak to you.
Castillo	Answering the call of civil service? Well what can I do for you?	00116545

Here the player requests that he run the update for them:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I need you to run this update on your radio's computer.
Castillo	The radio is our only means of relaying critical info back to Camp Golf.	00116550
Castillo	And I won't let any old program get updated to the radio control terminal. How do I know it's not some trojan horse virus program?	00116550

From here the player could pass either a speech or reputation check to convince Castillo:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 57> If I wanted to sabotage your radio, I wouldn't walk up and talk to you about it.
Castillo	Yeah, I guess that would be pretty stupid.	0011654A
Castillo	I'll transfer the files on your Pip-Boy, to the terminal. Thanks for coming all this way.	0011654A
Player	<Speech under 57> If I were carrying a virus program, I'd obviously be sick - but I'm not!
Castillo	Yeah, sure hard to argue with that logic.	0011654B
Castillo	Now if you would just turn yourself around before I have to kick you out for trespassing in a restricted area, that'd be swell.	0011654B
Player	Sgt. Reyes at Camp Golf told me do this. Radio her if you don't believe me.
Castillo	I remember now. I heard about you over the radio chatter, and if Reyes trusts you that's good enough for me.	00116546
Player	Sgt. Reyes at Camp Golf told me do this. Radio her if you don't believe me.
Castillo	Sorry pal, but you're no friend of the NCR, and I don't have much patience for this whole story you're blabbing about.	001167DF

Alternatively, the player could request the password so they could the update themselves:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm supposed to update the security on your radio. I'll need the password.
Castillo	So some stranger just walks up and asks me for the password? Do I look like an idiot to you?	00116544

From here they could pass either a science or reputation check to obtain the password:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Well, I doubt you could run a polynomial kernal fourier transformation process.
Castillo	Uh, a what now? Actually, don't bother explaining. Just do whatever it is you need to do.	00116553
Castillo	I'll write down the password for you. Just fix whatever needs fixing, and move along.	00116553
Player	But you'll need me to...create a GUI with visual basic to track an IP address.
Castillo	That's the second dumbest thing I think I've ever heard.	00116552
Player	Sergeant Reyes from Camp Golf sent me. It's a matter of great importance.
Castillo	Just having a laugh with you. I heard about you over the radio chatter, and if Reyes trusts you that's good enough for me.	00116548
Castillo	Here's the password for the terminal. Do what you need to do.	00116548
Player	Sergeant Reyes from Camp Golf sent me. It's a matter of great importance.
Castillo	That's an interesting story and all, but I don't know you, and don't trust you. I think it's time you mosey along out of here.	0011654D

Alternatively, the player could choose to start combat:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Those are fighting words.
Castillo	Are you kidding me? Don't make me have to bury you a grave in the desert.	0011654E
Player	Bad choice of last words.
Castillo	Damn wastelanders making my job difficult.	0011654C

The player originally could also discuss the second part of the quest with him:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm investigating the rising casualty figures at this Station.
Castillo	Rising casualties? We really aren't engaged in combat operations these days. I wonder where you're getting your information.	00127ADC
Castillo	Yeah, we've picked off some Legion folk scouting the Dam, but we're mostly an eyes and ears operation. Can't think of the last time we lost someone.	00127ADC
Castillo	You ought to talk to Lineholm. She's on patrol somewhere in the area. She's our co and this sounds like a question for her.	0011654C
Player	Lots of Ranger deaths are being reported and it has people worried.
Castillo	Yeah, I'd be a little puzzled to if something were killing rangers. But I haven't seen so much as a broken arm in weeks.	0011678B
Castillo	Look, you probably ought to speak to Ranger Lineholm. She's our senior officer, and she's been here the longest. You'll find her patrolling the area.	0011678B
Player	That's odd, because Alpha Station has been reporting heavy losses.
Castillo	Then it sounds like the NCR has drunken inbreds running the numbers.	0011678C

This dialogue is for a seperate branch where the player attempts to secure firearms from the station:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	[Lie] Camp Golf needs to arm up some recruits - I'm collecting spare weaponry.
Castillo	Right. Why don't you turn around? Before I put a bullet in your eye?	00116542
Player	Hold on, let me get my LSC-19 requisition form, I'll show you the triplicate.
Castillo	Spare me the damn paperwork. We've got extra weapons and I don't want some civilian going unarmed.	00116543
Castillo	I'll give you my service revolver, so I can do my good deed for the day and get you to leave me alone.	00116543
Player	Yeah, I'm supposed to get your rifles to uh...secure the homeland.
Castillo	Kid, I don't have time for this nonsense.	00116551

Comm Officer Tilden#

Some generic dialogue for this NPC:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Tilden	Hi there, what brings you so far into the desert?	00116B3A
Player
Tilden	Welcome back.	0012B87B
Player	Seen anything unusual?
Tilden	Well, Legion cronies wandering about is hardly unusual so no, sorry.	0011808F
Tilden	Look kid, tour guide is not in my job description. State your business or get on out of here.	0011808F

The player could then ask about upgrading the station's security:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm here on business.
Tilden	Really? And what kind of business is that?	00116BAF

Here the player requests he update the station's security. If the player had sufficient NCR reputation, he would agree without argument:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I need you to run this security update on your radio's computer.
Tilden	Well, nobody told me about no security upgrade scheduled. Whatever's going on, I don't trust it.	00118089
Player	I need you to run this security update on your radio's computer.
Tilden	Say, didn't realise they'd send the Courier on such a task. Been hearing about you, good things, mostly.	00116EF2
Tilden	Sure, I'll run the update. Thanks for coming all this way.	00116EF2

If not, they would need pass a speech check:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 61> It wouldn't be much of a security upgrade if it was announced over the radio.
Tilden	Oh, right. Guess that would've been pretty stupid. I'll get that upgrade installed right away.	00116EEB
Player	<Speech under 61> It's really super secret. Double dog classified, that's why you didn't know.
Tilden	This all sounds like a load of Brahmin manure. Quit wasting my time.	00116EF0

Alternatively, they could request the password to run the update themselves:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm here to update the security on your radio. I'll need the password.
Tilden	So, you want me to just give you the password? Are you on jet? I've got half a mind to put a bullet in you.	00116EEE

With a positive NCR rep, he would give the player the password:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Sgt. Reyes assigned me to the task - ask her if you don't trust me.
Tilden	I've heard good things about you, so go ahead and do whatever Reyes needs you to do. I'll write down the password for you.	00116EF3
Player	Sgt. Reyes assigned me to the task - ask her if you don't trust me.
Tilden	Look, I don't care who sent you. You're not authorized to be here, but I am authorized to kill you. So how about you start moseying on out of here?	00116EE9
Player	Glad that's done. Bye.
Tilden	Bye now.	00116EEC

The player also had the option to either give up or start combat:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Forget it, this is clearly a waste of my time.
Tilden	Run along now.	00116EF1
Player	I'd like to see you try, old man.
Tilden	With pleasure.	00116EEA
Player	Time to die.
Tilden	Last mistake you'll ever make, pal.	00116EEF

They could ask about the second part of the quest also:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I need to ask about your supply shortages.
Tilden	Shortage? Kid, you've got your facts wrong. Speak with Ericsen, she's in charge around here. She'll tell you about our supply situation.	00116EF4

The player could also attempt to procure some of the station's surplus supplies:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 21> I'm supposed to round spare supplies for the trainees at Camp Golf.
Tilden	You need supplies? Boy are you in luck kid, we're swimming in surplus ammo. Here, have some, now leave me alone.	0011807E
Player	<Speech under 21> Yeah, the uh, president sent me to round up your guns.
Tilden	Look kid, I don't have time for your stupid stories. How about you just leave me the hell alone.	00118083

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	<Greeting.>
Stepinac	Welcome to Ranger Station Charlie. Hope you have a good reason for being here.	00116b3b
Player	<Repair check @ 55>
Stepinac	I, uh...yeah, ok. Fine. I'll write down the password. If you tinker with anything you're not supposed to touch, I'll slit your throat.	00118079
Player	<Repair check @ 55>
Stepinac	What the hell kind of techno babble is that? Do you write fiction in your spare time? Stay the hell away from my radio.	0011807a
Player	<Speech check @ 30>
Stepinac	Fair enough. I'll take it from here.	00118090
Player	<Speech check @ 30>
Stepinac	You've got to be kidding me. Just get on out of here before I forcibly remove you.	00118091
Player	Before I go, Sgt. Reyes needs to know the situation with your medical supplies.
Stepinac	Yeah, we get one broken leg and we're shipped enough stims to resuscitate a legion of super mutants.	00127b12
Stepinac	I've radioed to Ranger command on several occasions that we're overstocked with meds, but nobody seems to care.	00127b12
Stepinac	Here, I'll put the request in writing. Give the geniuses in charge of logistics my regards.	00127b12
Player	Hold on - just playing around. No harm meant.
Stepinac	Take your bullshit somewhere else.	00118072
Player	I need to talk to you about the radio.
Stepinac	Don't tell me, you've got a piece of shrapnel in your head, and you're picking up our signals.	00116bad
Player	Seen anything unusual around these parts?
Stepinac	<Temp line for reactivity for the prepare for take-off event.>	0011808a
Player	Sorry, I have to get going.
Stepinac	See you around.	0011806f
Player	The NCR sent me to run a security upgrade to eliminate eavesdroppers.
Stepinac	Nobody, and I mean nobody messes with that radio. If it needs fixing, I'm the one to do it.	0011807b
Player	The NCR sent me to run a security upgrade to eliminate eavesdroppers.
Stepinac	Too bad they sent you. Heard about you, and I'm not letting you anywhere near our radio.	0011806e
Player	Time to die.
Stepinac	If it's a fight you want...	00118075
Player	Your hat would make a nice trophy.
Stepinac	Oh, we got ourselves a tough guy, do we?	00118098

Comm Officer Scheffer#

The Comm Officer has unused lines which elude to her having a debt with one of the casinos.

These lines would be used when opening a conversation with her. She could also be questioned on if anything interesting is happening at the station.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Scheffer	I'm not supposed to let civilians just walk around this place, there better be a good reason for you being here.	00116B3C
Player
Scheffer	Trooper, I'm pretty sure you're not authorised to be here. Now, what do you want?	0012B95D
Player
Scheffer	Why are you still here?	0012B95E
Player	What's going on around these parts?
Scheffer	Just Caesar's goons trying to cross the river. So, what exactly are you doing here?	0011809A

The player could then begin to ask her about upgrading the station's security:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm here on official business.
Scheffer	Really now? And who the hell sent you this far into the wasteland on an errand?	00116BB1
Scheffer	If you're here to collect a debt, you better be armed.	00116BB1

The player could lie and pretend to be a debt collector:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	A certain casino sent me...
Scheffer	Really now, and which one?	00118087

After this, the player would need to guess which casino she had the debt with:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Gomorrah.
Scheffer	That's funny, as I've never been to Gomorrah.	0011E466
Player	The Tops.
Scheffer	Great, I'll send them (him?) your severed head, as a message to quit harassing me.	0011A500
Player	The Ultra Luxe.
Scheffer	Hmm...Okay, and who exactly sent you?	0011A502

If the player had chosen The Tops, they would need to pass a speech check to continue the conversation:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 45> Slow down, I'm here to tell you they're done trying to collect.
Scheffer	Oh, finally. I paid that debt and interest five months ago, you bastards stop trying to milk more caps out of me.	0011A505
Scheffer	Now, get out of here before I shoot the messenger.	0011A505
Player	<Speech under 45> Hey now, don't uh... get all mad and stuff just because you owe lots of caps.
Scheffer	Less talking, more dying.	0011A506

If they had chosen the Ultra Luxe, they would need to either specify Marjorie or pass a speech check:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Marjorie.
Scheffer	A debt is a debt, I can pay half now. Not holding out on you, that's just all I've got on me.	0011A501
Player	<Speech 57> I wasn't given a name, just told that the blackjack pit boss expects payment.
Scheffer	Hey, can you blame me for liking blackjack? Best odds in the house.	0011A503
Player	<Speech under 57> You know, that guy. Who you owe money to. That guy. Trust me.
Scheffer	How about you just mosey on out of here before I shoot you for trespassing?	0011A504

From here they could accept half payment, let her off with warning or pass a barter check for payment in full:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	That'll do.
Scheffer	Ok, take your damn caps.	0011E463
Player	Just consider this a reminder to pay - I'm not going to take your caps...today.
Scheffer	Are you serious? Okay, well thanks. I'll pay up next time I'm at the Strip.	0011E467
Scheffer	Now, I need to ask you to leave. This is a restricted area, after all.	0011E467
Player	<Barter 65> If you were truly out of caps, you wouldn't have made a point of saying so.
Scheffer	Okay, fine, but now we're done. If I get another collector coming by to extract interest payment, there's going to be trouble.	0011E464
Player	<Barter under 65> Half? Not fair! I'm going to hold my breath until you pay me more!
Scheffer	Sorry, that's all I've got on me. Tell your boss I'll pay up soon enough.	0011E465

The player could use this an alternative method of convincing her to upgrade the station security:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	In exchange for letting you off the hook - how about you do a favour for me...
Scheffer	I guess it depends on what you have on mind?	00129982
Player	Run this update for me - as a favour to me and Sgt. Reyes.
Scheffer	Fair enough. If this update messes up the radio, I'm going to track down both you and Reyes, and feed you to the molerats.	00129983
Scheffer	Now run along, I'd hate to have to kill you.	00129983

Here the player asks her about upgrading the station:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Sgt. Reyes from Camp Golf - I'm here to update the security on your radio.
Scheffer	Oh, that's all? Yeah, go ahead. If you're qualified to work on the computer you've no doubt been given the password. So have at it.	0011808E

This would lead to the following topics:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Actually I forgot the password. Can you refresh my memory?
Scheffer	You're kidding me, right? You came all this way, and now...	0011809C
Player	If I just give you the upgrade, can you install it?
Scheffer	No, do your own damn job. Seriously, wastelanders get lazier and lazier every year. Need me to wipe your ass for you to?	00127B08
Player	Sgt. Reyes sent me but she didn't have the password.
Scheffer	Odd, she sent you but didn't give you the password? Now this sounds suspicious. What the hell are you playing at?	00118085

If told that they'd been sent by Reyes, they could pass this speech check to obtain the password:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 71> She's just a conscript desk jockey - I can't pretend to know why she'd forget.
Scheffer	I forget those glorified soldiers over at Camp Forlorn Hope aren't exactly the republic's finest.	00127B07
Scheffer	Ok, here's the password. Do what you need to do and then be on your way.	00127B07
Player	<Speech under 71> I was told I'm supposed to test you to see if you knew the password.
Scheffer	You really need to quit whatever drugs you're on. This conversation is done, get your job done, then get lost.	00127B08

If the player had told her that they'd forgotten the password, they could pass this speech check instead:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 66> I'd be a fool to write down sensitive information like passwords. >
Scheffer	Yeah, yeah, good point. Don't want to get captured and hand over sensitive information. I get it, here's the password.	001180A0
Player	<Speech under 66> I was told I'm supposed to test you to see if you knew the password.
Scheffer	You really need to quit whatever drugs you're on. This conversation is done, get your job done, then get lost.	001180A1

The player could also start combat instead:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Get ready to die.
Scheffer	Oh, this'll be fun.	0011807C

This is dialogue for looking for Passon as part of the second part of the quest:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm looking for Ranger Passon.
Scheffer	Passon spends most of his time out on patrol. Head East from here and look for a Ranger with a robo-brain companion by the river.	00127B01

Unmatched line:

Sample	Filename	Dialogue
Player	-
Scheffer	Ok, fine. But now we're done. If I get another collector come by to extract interest payment, there's going to be trouble.	0011E464

Comm Officer Green#

Generic dialogue for Green:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	So...seen anything interesting?
Green	Nope.	0011809b

The player could attempt to talk to him about the security upgrade:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I need to talk to you about your radio.
Green	Yeah?	00116bb0
Player	I'm here to update the radio's security system.
Green	Fascinating.	00118086

The player could either request the password or ask him to run the update for them:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Here, I have the upgrade on me - take it and run it on the computer for me.
Green	Hmm...no.	0011809d
Player	I'll need the password to the terminal.
Green	Neat.	00118071

Green would only give the player one word responses, from here the player could attempt to reason with him:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	You're really starting to piss me off.
Green	Yup.	0011809e
Player	Oh, I get it. This is funny for you for you, isn't it?
Green	Hilarious, actually.	0011808b
Player	You are quite possibly the least helpful I've ever met.
Green	Correct.	0011809f

The player would need to respond in like to obtain the password:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Yup.
Green	Mmm...hmm.	00118097
Player	Indeed.
Green	Yeah.	00118086
Player	Great.
Green	Fine.	00118073
Player	Okay then.
Green	Sure.	00118094
Player	You bet.
Green	You know what kid? I kind of like you. You said you needed the password, right? Here it is.	00118078

Once they had obtained the password, the player could choose from the following three responses:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Thanks.
Green	Mmm...hmm.	00118081
Player	I knew I could win you over eventually.
Green	Ugh, just get lost.	00118070
Player	Finally. Now I can kill you.
Green	Your funeral.	00118095

Alternatively, the player could've attempted to protest further, to no avail:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	So...can I have it?
Green	Nope.	00118096
Player	Are you capable of saying more than one word?
Green	Sometimes.	0011807f

Threats would be ineffective also:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Give me the password or I will kill you.
Green	Nope.	0011808d
Player	Seriously, I'm going to kill you.
Green	I doubt it.	00118074
Player	Three whole words. I'm impressed.
Green	Great.	0011807d
Player	I give up.
Green	Bye.	00118078

The player could also just kill him:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	That's it. Draw your gun, maggot.
Green	Ok.	00118092

If the player attempted to bribe Green, he would just give them a fake password:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Here's 50 caps. Give me the password already!
Green	Fine, the password is bite me maggot.	00127ae4

Dialogue for the second part of the quest:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I'm looking for Erasmus.
Green	He's not here.	00127b15

Comm Officer Lenk#

Dialogue for Lenk relating to the first part of the Return to Sender quest. Interestingly, this dialogue places her in the Ranger Station Bunker, which is unused in the final game. Of note is that Lenk's dialogue here presents her as a significantly different character from her final iteration.

Some generic lines of dialogue for the NPC.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player
Lenk	You're wandering into a restricted area, partner. Hope you have a good reason for being here.	00116B3E
Player	What's going on in this sector of New Vegas?
Lenk	One of the Rangers spotted a Brotherhood patrol. This bunker used to be theirs, wonder if they're looking to reclaim it?	001279CC
Player	What's going on in this sector of New Vegas?
Lenk	Guess the Great Khans up and made peace with the NCR. Can't say I was expecting that.	001279CD

Here the player asks about upgrading the station's security:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I need to talk to you about the station's radio.
Lenk	Oh, you mean the classified bit of NCR intelligence gathering that I don't let outsiders play with? Well, what about it?	00116BAE
Player	I'm here to deliver a security update to deter eavesdroppers.
Lenk	I don't recall hearing about any update to our security. Who sent you?	0011B048
Player	Sgt. Reyes sent me.
Lenk	Yeah, and what did the drunken desk jockey want?	00126F4B

From here, two responses were available to the player:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	She wanted this program on my Pip-Boy to be used to update security.
Lenk	Hmm...I'll do it for 100 caps.	00126F4A
Player	Drunken desk jockey? You've got a lot of nerve.
Lenk	Well, aren't you a feisty little turd? I don't visit you in your fortified bunker and bother you with nonsense; now do I?	00126F4C

The conversation proceeds the same regardless of which option was chosen - the second option simply loops back to the dialogue menu where the player would have to pick the first anyway. From here, three responses were available to the player:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	No, you'd do it for free because it's your job.
Lenk	Hey, you talk like you've got a pair. I like you.	00127AF2
Lenk	I'll run this program for you. But in return, you need to be on your way. I'm not supposed to let non military personnel walk around this place.	00127AF2
Player	Sure, here's 100 caps.
Lenk	Okay pal, I'll run the update. Now, why don't you mosey on out of here?	00127AD8
Player	<Barter 20> Make it 20 and you have a deal.
Lenk	Sure, I'll do it ok? I'll run the update. But you need to get out of here. This place is off limits and I don't want to hurt you.	00127AFF
Player	<Barter under 20> Hey, that's not fair! I only have 200, I mean... 20 caps.
Lenk	You really don't know how to haggle, do you? 100 caps and I'll do it, take it or leave it.	00127B00

Alternatively, the player could ask her for the password so they could run the security check themselves:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I'm here to update the security protocols - I'll need the password.
Lenk	Right. So I'm supposed to let a stranger come in and change the locks?	0011B047
Lenk	How about you make yourself scarce before I put a bullet in your head?	0011B047

From here, the player could attempt a rep check to convince her:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Sgt. Reyes said she'd be sending a courier - that's me.
Lenk	Oh, right. I've heard about you. Yeah, if Reyes trusted you, I'll extend you the favour as well.	0011B049
Lenk	Here's the most up to date password for the computer. Go ahead, and run the update.	0011B049
Player	Sgt. Reyes said she'd be sending a courier - that's me.
Lenk	Just because she sent you doesn't mean I trust you. I've never heard of you and I don't intend to give you access to that terminal.	0011B04A
Lenk	Tell Reyes to either get a Ranger to run here errands, or do the footwork herself.	0011B04A
Lenk	Now, you're on military grounds. I'll give you five seconds to wise up and leave, or I'll shoot you for trespassing.	0011B04A
Player	Sgt. Reyes said she'd be sending a courier - that's me.
Lenk	Oh, did she? Well, your reputation proceeds you. I'm not letting you get anywhere near our radio.	0011B04B
Lenk	You're trespassing on NCR military grounds, you've got three seconds to get out of here before I carry you out in pieces.	0011B04B

They could also attempt a speech check instead:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Speech 53> If it'll put you at ease, how about you take the upgrade and run it for me?
Lenk	Sounds fair. I'll take a look at the program, see if it checks out. And if it's legit, make sure everything gets updated.	0011B04D
Player	Thanks, I'll be going now.
Lenk	So long.	00127B0C
Player	<Speech under 53>
Lenk	Listen buddy, I don't know what the hell you're doing here, but you've got until the count of three to turn yourself around. One...	0011B04E

Failing either check would cause her to start a countdown, after which she would start combat with the player. At this point, the player needed either to leave or pass a skill check. Picking the following options would only aggravate her further:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Calm down, I'm just trying to have a civil conversation with you.
Lenk	One...	0011BAEC
Player	Hold on, let's not be hasty here.
Lenk	Two...	0011B06C
Player	I'm here as a favour to the NCR. Be reasonable and work with me here.
Lenk	Zero.	0011BAED
Player	I need to leave.
Lenk	Run along now. This is a restricted area, after all.	0011B06D
Player	This place looks soundproof. I guess nobody will hear you scream.
Lenk	That's it, you're going down, punk.	0011B066

She could originally be asked about the second part of the quest also:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What do you know about the Great Khans using trained deathclaws?
Lenk	That's news to me, but I also spend less time on patrols than the other Rangers, and more time looking after the bunker.	{0011B050
Lenk	If I were you, I'd speak with Ranger Kudlow. She co-ordinates the recon teams, and would be able to tell you about Great Khan activity.	0011B050
Lenk	You should find her topside, probably on patrol. Or you can try to get that antenna working.	0011B050

Senior Rangers

Dialogue for the senior rangers involved in the second part of the quest.

Ranger Lineholm#

Ranger Lineholm has some unused dialogue that provide additional background and information. Unlike the other Rangers, most of her dialogue was retained and used for the final, with the exception of a few cut lines noted below:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I guess I'll have to add your name to the list of casualties.
Lineholm	Bad move, kid.	0011E4F5
Player	Reyes insists the reports from this station indicate heavy losses.
Lineholm	With the exception of hanged nails and false ??(Cannot understand word here), any injury, illness or death gets radioed to Ranger HQ at Camp Golf.	0011E4F6
Lineholm	Chief Hanlon and his aides compile the reports, and assign reinforcements as needed, and they're not needed here. Here, take my latest report.	0011E4F6
Player	Anything unusual in these parts?
Lineholm	Just a steady trickle of Legion scouts wandering these areas. Heard of The Fort? I'd steer clear of it if I were you.	0011E4F8
Player	Sgt. Reyes sent me - she's curious about the high casualties at this station.
Lineholm	High casualties? We had very few injuries and even fewer death in this region of New Vegas.	0012B876
Player	Anything unusual in these parts?
Lineholm	I heard about Hanlon. That really caught me off guard. Wouldn't imagine a war hero doing something like that.	00127B03

Ranger Ericsen#

Unused dialogue exists for this NPC.

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I need to ask you some questions.
Ericsen	Make it quick.	0011eb2a
Player
Ericsen	You and me both. You know, if I weren't on duty, I'd show you my sidearm.	0011eb2c
Ericsen	But I guess that'll have to wait. Now, what brings you here in the first place?	0011eb2c
Player	I'll take any spare shotgun shells you don't need.
Ericsen	Aim those rounds at Caesar for me. Now, run along. I'm supposed to be on duty.	0011eb2d
Player	Do you have any ammo to spare?
Ericsen	No, but I'll toss you a few rounds if you ask real nice. You need plinking rounds, buckshot or paperweights?	0011eb2e
Player	What are you shooting at?
Ericsen	Just target practice. Hostiles know better than to wander near this station, so I'm just keeping my skills up firing at junk.	0011eb2f
Ericsen	Though I seem to have ripped up most of the target sized bits of junk around here.	0011eb2f
Player	I can't wait to loot your corpse.
Ericsen	Make my day, stranger.	0011eb26
Player	Nice gun.
Ericsen	Yeah, what about it?	0011eb27
Player	You never requested these extra supplies?
Ericsen	Nope, I have no idea why they keep shipping us ammo.	0011eb28
Player	Sgt. Reyes sent me to inquire about your supplies.
Ericsen	Go back, and tell her to ask me herself. I don't talk shop to anyone other than Rangers and Reyes.	0011eb29
Player	[Black Widow] She also sent me to reward you for your work in the desert.
Ericsen	Hey, she knows my type. It gets pretty lonely down here in the sausage fest that is known as Bravo station.	0011eb30
Ericsen	But who am I kidding? I don't have time for a grind in the sack. I need to be alert for when Caesar finally makes a move on Bitter Springs.	0011eb30
Ericsen	Still, tell her I appreciate the eye candy. Now, what exactly is it that you came here to do?	0011eb30
Player	There's no record of supplies being sent here for months - what's the status?
Ericsen	Strange. I've been firing hundreds of rounds a day on target practice. We're awash in surplus ammunition.	0011eb31
Ericsen	Her records must be a mess. We've been getting constant shipments of munition, like we're stocking up for the fourth world war.	0011eb31
Ericsen	But we haven't requested any of this. We've been radioing command to tell them to stop sending us more bullets.	0011eb31
Player	I've got a spare teddy bear you could use for target practice.
Ericsen	Hey, thanks. That'll make a great target.	0011eb32
Ericsen	So, what brings you here?	0011eb32
Player	Goodbye.
Ericsen	Whatever.	0011eb33
Player	<Guns 65> It's not often I see the antebellum G-series model you're using. Quite a find.
Ericsen	You've got a good eye. Yeah, I salvaged this from the Sierra army depot, before I was reassigned to New Vegas.	0011eb35
Ericsen	So, what exactly brings you here?	0011eb35
Player	<Guns under 65> It's like... a pretty big gun. Wow.
Ericsen	Look, do you actually have a reason for being here? Or are you just wasting my time for the hell of it?	0011eb36
Player	<Speech 73> She's buried in paperwork - you know how inefficient the NCR militia can be.
Ericsen	Huh? Yeah, I hear you. We get the glory of defending New Vegas. She gets the accounting work. What do you need?	0011eb38
Player	-<Speech under 73?>
Ericsen	You really get on my nerves, stranger.	0011eb39

Ranger Passon#

Unused dialogue mentioning cut quest elements.

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Can I ask you some questions?
Passon	Does it matter, if I say no?	0011f476
Player	I wanted to ask you about Caesar's Super mutants.
Passon	Huh, I don't know what you're talking about.	0011f478
Passon	The Legion has its share of killers and thugs, but none of them are super mutants.	0011f478
Player	Your bot's a GBRM2kX model, right? Does it have the thermographic opticographer?
Passon	Well I'll be, This wanderer knows a thing or two about robo-brains. Yeah, this bots got all manner of custom upgrades.	0011fb6e
Passon	Best of all, he's mute. Only thing more annoying than a child is a talking robot.	0011fb6e
Player	<Speech 62> I'm just trying to clear things up. What report did you file?
Passon	Ok, fine. I can tell you're going to be persistent on this one. I almost respect that. Almost.	0011fb6f
Player	<Speech under 62> Okay okay, you're Mr. Reclusive. Cut the act and tell me what I need to know.
Passon	Please tell me you're done wasting my time.	0011fb70
Player	Can I ask you some questions?
Passon	Are you going to bug me about this crazy super mutant nonsense some more?	0011fb71
Player	Certainly there's something I can offer you in exchange for your help.
Passon	If you've got a carton of smokes or some extra scotch on you, I'll listen to what you say. Otherwise, get lost.	0011fb72
Player	You're welcome. Now about this report...
Passon	So the last report on NCR militia casualties I filed didn't involve any super mutants. See, I saw this patrol wandering down river a few weeks back.	0011fb73
Passon	One idiot reaches for his canteen, and manages to drop a grenade. They all try to play hero and dive on the grenade. Pretty pathetic, really.	0011fb73
Passon	Here's my bots optic log on the incident. Hand this to the NCR folks and it'll clear up my report, and save me the paperwork.	0011fb73
Player	You filed a report which said Super mutants wiped out an NCR patrol.
Passon	No, I didn't. You might hear that kind of nonsense from a drunk trooper on The Strip, but not from me. I didn't file a report like that, so drop it.	0011fb74
Player	I've got a bottle of scotch for you.
Passon	Well, thanks. A man does get thirsty out here on patrol.	0011fb75
Player	What are you doing out here?
Passon	Keeping watch on the river and anyone trying to cross it.	0011fb76
Passon	I'm also out here so I don't have to deal with other people. That's a subtle for you to leave me alone, by the way.	0011fb76
Player	I've got a bottle of scotch for you.
Passon	Good, I was running low on these. Much appreciated.	0011fb77
Player	Nice robot.
Passon	Yeah, fixed him up myself.	0011fb78
Player
Passon	Can I help you?	0011ebdb

Ranger Erasmus#

Erasmus of Ranger Station Echo has quite of few lines of dialogue here that are missing from the final build. Interestingly, his lines also show he would've been a ghoul rather than a normal human.

Some general dialogue for the character:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I should be going. Bye.
Erasmus	Try not to procreate. The world is pretty much doomed as it is.	00116bb0

If the player attempted to speak to him about the after action reports, he would offer only sarcastic responses:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	Sgt. Reyes is concerned about sighting reports from Echo station.
Erasmus	Sounds interesting. I'm absolutely riveted by what you're saying. Please, go on.	0011fe71
Player	The NCR militia is only able to catch a small number of the hostiles reported.
Erasmus	Sorry, what was that? I was too busy imagining an alternate universe where siblings aren't allowed to reproduce, and you were never born.	0011fe77
Player	Why the attitude?
Erasmus	Attitude? Your the one interrupting my patrol. Why are you even here? Lost? Need directions back to your mommy?	0011fe6e
Player	Never mind. Bye.
Erasmus	Leaving so soon? And I was just getting acclimated to your scent.	0011fe73

If the player opted to insult him instead, he would become more open to speaking with the player:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	That's it, you're a dead ghoul.
Erasmus	Oh, did I hurt your feelings? Maybe I have a toy car or a teddy bear in my tent, maybe that would make you feel better.	0011FE69
Player	You have a teddy bear in your tent? Are you a pedophille?
Erasmus	Did the smoothskin just offer a comeback? And here I thought you were slightly dumber than a bag of rocks.	0011fe70
Player	Thanks. It's hard to be witty when you're talking to a walking coldsore.
Erasmus	Hmm...haven't heard that one before.	0011fe78
Erasmus	Now why the hell did you wander all the way out here? It certainly wasn't for the charming conversation.	0011fe78

An alternative branch:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I just wanted to see the world's ugliest face.
Erasmus	I could have gotten you a mirror, and saved you the walk.	0011fe72

Either of the above branches would open up the dialogue branch needed to proceed with the quest:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I'm investigating after action reports for Sgt. Reyes.
Erasmus	Reyes, eh? Can't wait till she gets old and wrinkly enough to lower her standards, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.	0011fe76
Erasmus	So anyway, Sergeant party girl has a problem with my reports? What's the issue?	0011fe76
Player	Echo station are reporting a high number of hostiles. Few are being intercepted.
Erasmus	That's news to me. We get Legion types and raiders now and then, but enemy sightings have been tapering off.	0011fe6c
Player	Reyes thinks someone might be listening in and staying ahead of the NCR.
Erasmus	Could be. I see alot of NCR squads wandering the desert, armed for a fight. And then I see them going back to camp looking frustrated.	0011fe6a
Erasmus	The NCR relies on the Rangers to radio troop positions, and eavesdropping would be a serious problem.	0011fe6a
Player	So the NCR has the wrong number of sighting reports?
Erasmus	That's got to be the case. I can tell you for certain that we have had a steep decline in hostile activity in this area.	0011fe75
Erasmus	There's another possibility. If someone were impersonating ranger broadcasts and sending the NCR on wild Brahmin chases, that would explain a lot.	0011fe75
Erasmus	That would explain command thinking there's a high incident rate, and it would explain why I see so many patrols wandering around looking clueless.	0011fe75

After ending the conversation, he would give the player his logbook as proof:

Sample	Filename	Form ID
Player	I have to go.
Erasmus	OK, well, take this. It's just of all the sightings me and the Echo boys made over the past few weeks.	0011fe68
Erasmus	I bet you anything NCR command has its' wires crossed, and our reports are getting double or triple reported.	0011fe68
Erasmus	The only other explanation is that someone is pretending to be a Ranger, and sending false sighting reports over the radio. So, here you go. Good luck.	0011fe68
Player	That's all I need to know.
Erasmus	Here, bring my logbook back to Reyes. She can look at the sighting records I have. Maybe she'll see the issue is just a bit of bad math.	0011FE6B
Erasmus	And tell her that I'd offer her free moustache rights if I had a moustache. Okay, take it easy kid.	0011FE6B

A generic topic to ask him some questions. The response received depends on the state of the variable "ErasmusOk", this needs to be set to 1 in order to receive the positive response. Conditions like this are normally updated by picking the correct dialogue responses in conversations, it is the dialogue script itself that handles updating conditions. It is possible the above branches that lead to the player insulting Erasmus would've updated this condition; but as dialogue scripts have not been recovered from this build it is hard to know for certain:

Sample	Filename	Dialogue
Player	Can I ask you some questions?
Erasmus	Yeah, why not? I was born to answer your stupid question. I have been waiting all these years just to tend to your curiosity.	0011fe6f
Player	Can I ask you some questions?
Erasmus	Hey, you again. The one with the sense of humour. What the hell do you want?	00127afc
Player	Less talking more fighting.
Erasmus	It's your funeral, smoothskin.	0011fe6d

The player could also choose to kill him instead:

Player	Less talking more fighting.
Erasmus	It's your funeral, smoothskin.	0011fe6d

Ranger Kudlow#

Unused dialogue for Ranger Kudlow reveals she would have set a task for the player as part of the Return to Sender quest. Kudlow also mentions the Station's Brotherhood of Steel roots, a detail that is missing in the final.

Some generic lines of dialogue for this NPC:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	What are you doing out here?
Kudlow	Keeping watch, and trying to figure out how I'm going to fix the antenna's power supply.	00120DBA
Kudlow	It's a crapshoot every time we try to send an outbound message, whether the radio array is going to work or have a blackout.	00120DBA
Player	What are you doing out here?
Kudlow	Just keeping watch. Making sure all's quiet of the western edge of New Vegas. Besides, I hate being stuck in that little bunker.	00127B0A
Kudlow	This station used to belong to the Brotherhood of Steel, and most days it still smells like sweaty guys and rusted metal.	00127B0A
Player	Bye.
Kudlow	Try not to get eaten by jackals.	00120DC3

Here she would mention the broken antenna to the player, in-inadvertently starting this task:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I need to talk to you.
Kudlow	Well, whatever you need to talk to me about, it'll have to wait. I'm a little preoccupied trying to fix this station's power supply.	00120DC1
Kudlow	So, unless you have some brilliant technical expertise to lend my way, this conversation will have to wait.	00120DC1
Player	I could help you fix your radio problem.
Kudlow	I've tinkered on this for hours so I can tell the power supply has constant voltage, but sporadic current. The problems got to be the battery.	00120DC2
Kudlow	If you can find me a new Fission battery, I should be able to swap the thing out and get a constant signal strength.	00120DC2

The player could skip the task by passing the following skill checks, note that there doesn't appear to be a value assigned to the last speech check, meaning it's unknown how many skill points the player would've needed to succeed there.

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	<Repair 44> You don't need a new battery, just replace the heat sink and clean the contacts.
Kudlow	Oh, I wish I would had thought of that first. That would explain the intermittent power. I'll fix that right away, thanks.	00120DBD
Kudlow	Now, you had something you needed to ask me about?	00120DBD
Player	<Repair under 44> Have you tried restarting? How about unplugging it and plugging it back in?
Kudlow	Yeah, already tried that. Thanks.	00120DBE
Player	<Speech 68> I'll go track down a new battery for you, but I need to ask you something first.
Kudlow	Fine. if you're willing to track down supplies for me, the least I can do is give you a moment of my time. What's on your mind?	00120DBF
Player	<Speech under 68> Forget your repairs, I'm here on official business - so pay attention to me!
Kudlow	When you put it that way, get lost.	00120DC0
Player	I'm here on official business. This won't take more than a moment, promise.
Kudlow	Well, if it's that important to you, what is this all about?	00120DBB
Player	I'm on official business for the NCR military. Your repairs will have to wait.
Kudlow	You know, I hope that I'm legally authorized to put a bullet in your eye.	00120DBC

After completing the task, she would discuss the questionable report with the player:

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	I have a spare battery for you.
Kudlow	Thanks. We don't get frequent resupplies being out in the middle of nowhere. You're a real lifesaver.	00120DC4
Kudlow	So, you said you need to talk to me?	00120DC4
Player	I need to confirm your report about Great Khans with trained deathclaws.
Kudlow	You must be mistaken, I haven't filed any report like that. Trained deathclaws? I would have remembered that.	00120DB8
Kudlow	If someone is saying I filed that report, that's a load of crap. I won't have my name attached to clerical error. Here, show command my log book.	00120DB8

Speaker	Dialogue	Form ID
Player	Sounds important - Isn't there an NCR trooper who can do that?
Reyes	I've been trying to get someone to authorize this update - or at the least get field clearance to leave the camp and do this myself.	0010D4E6
Reyes	But nobody takes me seriously - they just think I'm an incompetent desk jockey trying to glamorize the importance of my job.	0010D4E6
Reyes	Besides, you have a Pip-Boy and I'm going to need someone with that kind of hardware to get this task done.	0010D4E6
