Dead Money

This is a sub-page of Fallout: New Vegas.

Characters#

Female Holograms#

Generic 'friendly' female holograms. There are multiple copies of this NPC in varying states of completion - some bleed when shot, can be spoken to, and carry holographic laser pistols instead of using the standard hologram head laser. Template: 4010ecd Early Starlet template: 4006093 Theater: 4010ecb Bartender: 4012509

Narrator#

An NPC used to play some of the intro and ending voices behind the scenes. 400adbe

Starlet#

Two unused versions of Vera Keyes exist in the flesh; one is a placeholder used to run some scripts for the recording in the SM executive suites and the ending slides. The other is a ghoul intended for use as a corpse; her charred (yet fully clothed) skeleton was used instead. Regular: 4006eda Ghoul: 400c824

Tastee Morsel#

An innately-hostile test NPC related to the character Dog. 400cdb3

White Arrow Heart Dude#

The piece of graffiti he's [most likely] named after. Unused in vanilla New Vegas. The "white arrow heart" probably refers to a specific piece of graffiti. His editor ID says he was designed to appear as a corpse. 400ecf2

Creatures#

Dean Hologram#

A differently-named generic male hologram. Not to be confused with Dean Hologram the unique NPC. 400fe22

Dog Script Test Dude#

A generic Super Mutant used to test some scripts related to the character Dog. 400cdb2

Items#

Hologram Beam#

Embedded weapon used by hologram enemies. Starlet': 400fda7 Generic: 400ad78

hologramoutfit#

Worn by all the holograms. Unlike the other unused DLC armors, this one can be used by the player. 400307b

Sierra Madre Martini#

A non-consumable junk item version of the drink. 4012c8b

Starlet Skeleton#

Uses the world model and Pip-Boy icon of the Brotherhood scribe robe. Unusable. Also (un)available is the identical "Starlet Skeleton Dress", which always uses the female icon. Starlet Skeleton: 4013531 Dress: 4013533

The Faderator#

A test weapon, like the debug pistol. It's a Gauss Rifle which fires at 42x the rate of the regular rifle, uses only one MFC per shot (vs. 4), and has an unlimited ammo pool with regenerating ammo. This is probably named after Jason Fader, a technical producer at Obsidian. 4000800

Vera Keyes' Holotapes#

These are just junk items.

Notes#

Ennis's Note#

400ec9f

Stupid system locked me out again. How am I supposed to remember the password if they keep making me change it every few months? Bah, I'll just write it down here so I don't forget.

Shipment Invoice#

401227f

Shipments got routed again, and what was meant for the casino restaurant ended up in the Villa main for the umpteenth time. Hauling those crates of knives up to the main lobby ain't going to be my job, especially with no cars.

Sinclair: E.B.E#

401375a

Mr. Sinclair,

I took the points you raised in the call today to heart, and I hope my answers offered some reassurance. What we are providing is an exclusive, comprehensive technology, but more importantly, we want to address the concern you raised for protecting your guests from threats, specifically the growing communist threat from the Chinese.

Security is N.E.'s top concern. There is no reason to provide a service that you cannot defend, and should the current world situation lead to increased hostilities, an Emergency Broadcast Emitter has been placed inside select hologram emitters at the Sierra Madre. In case of nuclear attack, holograms will defend their stations with lethal force to protect the guests under their charge.

If you wish to make sure that those who come to your Villa and casino have the means to defend themselves, I assure you, you need look no further than the E.B.E., it is a proven technology, and anyone who decides to attack you or your guests will regret any aggression.

Martin T. Harris

P.S. Any chance we could ask you to have Ms Keyes sign an autograph for us? It won't reduce the price, although I could see about sending a few extra systems your way.

Tampico's Stage Manager Passcode#

401093f

Dean had his Entertainer Pass wrapped up in an old, crumbling piece of paper.

Barely visible, it reads:

"Huba-luba"

Too Hot!#

40138e7

One of the cooks noticed their knife was glowing the other day. They'd left it on the stove top, and the metal started glowing red - and it didn't cool down! What kind of "Space Age" metal is this Cosmic Knife made of? It kept glowing hot for several hours, and then the knife was so weak that when we tried to use it, it simply snapped. Guess that's why the metal's not used in rockets!

Message From Elijah: Gala Event#

This is an audio log, identical to the "prisoner commands" holotape. 400bcda

Are you listening? From now on, when I talk to you, pay attention.

I've left markers on your Pip-Boy - find the three other collars in town - 8, 12, and 14, get them to the Fountain. Obey me, and you can all go free.

Objects#

Corpse#

A headless corpse wearing a Dead Money Jumpsuit. There are functionally identical NPCs used in its place.

Vera Keyes Photo#

A framed photograph of Vera Keyes, later seen in the Z-38 lightwave dynamics research lab in Old World Blues.

Unused Textures#

Texture	Description
	The Pip-Boy icon for the "Snow Globe - Sierra Madre", unused as it will automatically be exchanged for 2,000 Sierra Madre Chips when picked up by the player.

Endings#

Ending Audio#

Christine Kills Elijah#

Speaker	Audio	Transcript
Christine		Christine's mission to kill the one who controlled their collars, even at the cost of her own life, trapped the Courier inside the casino vault.
Christine		The elevator door never opened, and no objectives appeared on the Pip-Boy's screen to guide the Courier to freedom.
Christine		The Sierra Madre became the Courier's grave.
Christine		Not long after the Courier's death, however, a new hologram appeared in the Sierra Madre lobby—standing, waiting to greet new guests to the casino.
Christine		In some respects, the hologram of the Courier paid respect to the one person ever to breach the Sierra Madre vault.
Christine		A means of allowing even the dead to begin again.

Elijah Traps Courier#

Speaker	Audio	Transcript
Elijah		A slip of the tongue led to the Courier's death. Unable to detonate his victim's collar from a distance, Elijah chose another method.
Elijah		The murder took days to plan and less than a minute to execute.
Elijah		Reprogramming the casino's ventilation system, Elijah turned the vault into a gas chamber, filling it with the Cloud and killing the Courier.
Elijah		In the years that followed, the legend of the Sierra Madre faded, and there were no new visitors to the city.
Elijah		Years later, when a mysterious blood-red cloud began to roll across the Mojave, then west toward the Republic, no one knew where it had come from.
Elijah		Only that it brought death in its wake. Attempts to find the source of the toxic cloud failed.
Elijah		Eventually, the last vestiges of NCR faded from the Mojave and the West, wiping the slate clean.

Ending Slides#

Slide	Description
	Christine standing over Elijah's corpse. Likely meant for the Christine Kills Elijah ending described above.
	A shot of the inside of the vault. The file name implies this is meant for the Elijah Traps Courier ending described above.
	Vera's hologram at the fountain. The file name implies this is for an ending where all companions die, which has no special ending slide in the final game.
	The Sierra Madre vault's entrance. Meant for the intro, given the file name.
	A shot of the fountain with no hologram. Also meant for the intro, given the file name.
	A shot of Hoover Dam. Meant for the ending where the Courier sides with Elijah, given the file name.

Dean Domino's Blackmail Tape#

Found within Dean's room in the Tampico is a Holotape labeled "Dean Domino's Blackmail Tape". Due to a bug, playing it in-game will only play the first line, rendering the rest of the dialogue inaccessible.

Speaker	Audio	Transcript
Dean		Pretty as a picture.
Vera		Uh... Dean, I... didn't hear you come in.
Dean		I'm not wearing my dancing shoes, so I walk a little softly now. What, you think I was a Chinaman, come to cut your American throat?
Vera		Dean, really.
Dean		What... no hug? Come here.
Vera		Dean, I'm getting ready.
Dean		You sing like a bird, pop the safe, and we're as through as through can be.
Vera		Dean... I just... about tonight, I... I don't know.
Dean		You don't know? I ask one simple favor of you, and you tell me "no?"
Vera		I didn't say no. I just said that... I don't think...
Dean		You're right, you don't think.
Dean		I don't need you - I'll send you back to the farm, worse off than you were, because you'll have seen the Sierra Madre, and had to let it all go.
Dean		I could have gotten any leggy dame out of Hollywood to get out here and play Sinclair's heart strings.
Dean		You just happened to be the one I caught, and it was really your own fault, a little too much into the chems and meds, and...
Dean		Aw, shhh, don't cry. Look, I'm not trying to hurt you. Just one last little job, a little less dirty, a little less messy. He trusts you, Vera.
Dean		And so do I. After this, I promise you, all those other Holotapes, they'll go away.
Vera		Of course, Dean.
