Pre-Sanctuary Hellos

I’m so sick of this place.

The Commonwealth is nothing but rads and raiders.

I just wanna be somewhere safe.

Some people say I’ve got thinner skin than a pot-sticker. But I don’t see that as a bad thing. Living in a tough neighborhood isn’t a good thing.

I wanna move to a nicer settlement, but with the Minutemen gone, there’s nowhere in the Commonwealth that’s safe.

What’s that smell? I hope I don’t get used to it.

Yeah?

Need something?

player sends them to non-Sanctuary settlement

I hate it here. I thought you were taking me to Sanctuary.

Hellos

Aren’t you the one from Sanctuary? You’re so lucky. I hear it’s the safest place in all the Commonwealth!

(backup if player exits early)
You’re so lucky to live in Sanctuary. It’s the safest place by far.

(Safest place?) Who told you that?
No one told me. I actually read it in Picket Fences Magazine.
In their most recent issue, Sanctuary was rated the number one suburb in all of Boston, and the best place to raise a family.
And that still holds true today. I heard in Sanctuary, there’s never a raider attack.
Not only that, there’s no radiation in Sanctuary – the water there is crystal clear.
I’d move there tomorrow if I was guaranteed a job.

Hey. What do you think about coming to work for me?
Are you kidding? There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than Sanctuary Hills! I’m gonna start packing right now!

What’s the news around here?
Same old same old. It’s enough to drive you insane. And there’s only one treatment. Moving.

Got me mistaken for someone else.
No, you can’t fool me. I know all about Sanctuary and the people who run it. You’re the one in charge.

We’ll talk later.
Sure. Let me know if you need any help with Sanctuary.

 

Sanctuary Hellos

Just another perfect day in Sanctuary!

Thank you so much for letting me stay here. It’s a dream come true.

It’s everything I imagined and more.

I love what you’ve done with the place.

MURDER MYSTERY QUEST

Oh god, you gotta come quick, something terrible’s happened!

player follows to bunker basement, dead body lying there

I found him in one of the houses. I think he was poisoned.
He’s one of the new settlers, came here just yesterday looking for work.
I didn’t want to upset the others. I was just trying to fix things, make it right, you know?

Do you have any suspects?
I do, actually. I knew for sure it couldn’t be anyone in Sanctuary. The people here are good, honest folk.
But an outsider, like say, a caravan trader…they could sell you a bad batch of goods, and not even Mama Murphy would see it coming.

If so, that’s a serious security risk.
Right. From now on, I’ll make sure no one’s eating any food that isn’t Sanctuary grown.
But I don’t think this guy was one of the normal traders. He was an outsider for sure.

Yeah, you’ve fixed things all right. Fixed yourself for some time in a Diamond City jail cell.
Are you saying you think I did it?
No, you’ve got to believe me, I was only trying to protect Sanctuary’s reputation!
The last thing we want is for people to think it isn’t safe.
And I believe it still is. The only culprit here is the trader who sold him the tainted food.

Okay, calm down and take a deep breath…
You’re right.
(now talking to self) Just breathe deep. You’re in Sanctuary. Nothing bad can ever happen here.
And nothing bad did happen. It was an outsider who poisoned this man. Gave him some kind of tainted food.

Now keep in mind, I’m from Bunker Hill. I know every trader that passes through the Commonwealth, and I’m telling you, I’ve never seen this woman before.
And the other weird thing is, she didn’t even head south like most traders – she went northeast. Who the hell goes that way? There’s nothing there but trees and bark.
Not sure it’s much of a lead, but I’d start by following the trail there.

Hellos

Good luck.

We’ve got to protect Sanctuary’s reputation.

I’ll stay here and make sure no one sees the body.

POST-INVESTIGATION, PLAYER SOLVES IT AND RETURNS TO SANCTUARY

I heard what you did on the radio. Thank god. Sanctuary’s reputation is safe.
Don’t worry about the body, I took care of it.

I’m going to make sure nothing ever sullies our town’s good name.

From now on, I’m going to personally inspect every piece of meat that comes through here.

Thank god nobody else ate that tainted food.

It makes sense that this was some kind of lover’s quarrel. Nobody would ever want to harm the people of our fair city.

NOTES ON Player Investigation (NO FURTHER LINES TO RECORD)

finds potted meat, slain brahmin, caravan clothes

This brahmin was slain recently. The caravan boxes it’s carrying are filled with straw, as if to give the appearance they’re full.

You find a piece of meat that’s been marinated in toxic waste.

Note: Bought way more RadAway than I needed. Gonna need to sell it off to one of the clinics. I’ll have that postman deliver it and then get a face swap to cover my tracks.

Player goes to Postman finds his ledger, make sure if you read prior no stage is set

Crocker Terminal List

Hispanic female, age 35. Said she wanted to look like the Nuka-Cola Girl. Bleached her skin a bit to match blonde dye job. Gave her a more Anglo-Saxon nose and tinted contacts to blue her eyes. I really am an artist.

Caucasian male, age 44. He wanted me to take ten years off his face, but I was hard pressed to remove two. All in all, it’s a lot tougher working with aging skin. It’s not as malleable and prone to sagging. Not even the finest sculptor can work with such shoddy clay.

Asian female, age 22. It’s my fourth time working with this face. Women like her are never satisfied, no matter how perfect I sculpt them. She asked for much fuller lips this time around, which I know she’ll be complaining about tomorrow.

Husband and Wife Couple, ages 27 and 29. These two wanted to do a little role play. The husband was a little fearful they wouldn’t get their old faces back, but I told them I have a photographic memory. I’m not sure they believed me, but I doubt they’ll notice the difference.

////So I enable 4 or 5 suspects have them sandbox Diamond City. 3 of them are members of the Diamond City faction, and attacking them will cause them to flee(super high cowardice) and set the guards on you. Identifying the wrong person will still make it seem like you completed the quest, but when you return you’ll find

I saw what you did in Diamond City. I must’ve done a pretty sloppy job of covering my tracks. But it was good enough, because in the end you killed the wrong woman. You won’t find me this time. I’ve left the Commonwealth. Just thought I’d give you a going away present.

1 is not, and will attack you – killing her will properly complete the quest. Another hint will be the potted meat on her person if you try and pickpocket her.

I don’t regret killing that asshole. We had a good thing, and he left it for that shitshow in Sanctuary. Now I just gotta lay low for a while. It’s gonna take some time to get used to this new face, but it was worth it just to see the look on his when he choked on that meat.
