STRAW BUNKER
Franz’s Bunker is music and art themed
Ah, hello. Welcome to my humble abode.
If you’re wondering about the accent, well, I learned it from listening to old holotapes. Imagine my surprise to find not everyone talks this way.
These bunkers were built before the war by three families. Myself, Annie, and Jerome are all that is left.
The others are…how you say…a little rough around the edges. But they are good people.
It is not a good idea to judge a person by its cover. But records…there is no harm in doing that.
Diamond City radio is a little too fast for my tastes, and the Classical station is too slow. I need something in between.
Have you met the other bunker residents yet? Tell them I said hello.
Jerome hasn’t left his bunker since Abraham left. I feel it’s hit him the hardest.
Quest
Are you handy with electronics? Do you think you can take a look at my jukebox? I’ve left it open.
Do Nothing
Replace “When I Need to Relax” Holotape
Replace “Classic Songs from the Old World”
Replace “Pop Favorites”
Ah! That did it! Thank you so much for fixing it. You’re welcome back any time.

What are you doing!
Help!
Runs to 2nd bunker
Annie! Let me in!
Please! This is a matter of life and death!

Jerome, you’ve gotta let us in! There’s a couple of madmen out here trying to kill us!
And you want me to let them follow you in? Sorry. You’re on your own.
Goddamnit, asshole! We’re getting in whether you like it or not! Come on Franz, we’re using Abe’s bunker.
Abraham’s? Why?
Trust me. They’re connected.

I’m telling you Annie, my bunker is haunted!
Please. I agree your bunker ain’t safe, but you and I both know it’s got nothing to do with ghosts.
Hellos
Thank god Annie let me in.
It really is haunted. I don’t think I can go back.
Perhaps it was the ghost that got Abraham too.
NVScene 2
What did I tell you Annie! This ghost is real! It must have followed me here!
Or it could be Travis finally went nutters.
You heard it! That’s a dying radstag on that radio! You don’t think that’s a message?
I think you’ve lost your mind. Luckily, I got just the thing to fix what ails ya. Now I’m gonna get you a beer out of the fridge. Why don’t you just sit down and try not to have a panic attack, okay?
Haunted, my ass.
(sees bloody deer head in fridge)
What the fuck!
I told you Annie! I told you this place was haunted!
I don’t know if I believe you, but I sure as hell ain’t staying here to find out! Let’s get out of here!
NV Scene 3
Jerome! Open up! You gotta let us in!
What is it now?
Our bunkers are haunted! You have to help us!
Haunted? You can’t be serious.
Does it sound like we’re fucking around? Open this goddamn door or I swear, I’m kicking it down!
All right, all right. Keep your pants on you damn mungos.
WOOD BUNKER
Annie’s bunker is full of animal heads and hunting stuff
You new around here? Well, you can look, but you can’t stay.
Don’t ask me for no tour. The only thing I’m gonna show you is the door.
Jerome thinks his bunker is better than mine. Well it’s not.
If you wanna talk to Jerome, you gotta do it through that intercom. I forget what he even looks like.
I’d call Franz’s bunker a piece of shit, but it’s not really a “piece,” is it. It’s the whole goddamn turd.
Listen, I’d sooner turn into a feral than have to spend eternity in a bunker as poorly built as Franz’s. I’m surprised the roof hasn’t caved in on him yet.
Franz’s bunker is full of old jukeboxes and records. That guy’s real clean. Too clean, if you ask me.
Jerome likes fiddling with ham radios. But who’s he gonna call on that thing? Ain’t nobody out there now.
There used to be four of us. Abe ain’t around no more, so his bunker’s basically like a grave.
Yeah, I like hunting. Got me a rifle and all the ammo they can eat.

Crazy son of a bitch thinks his bunker is haunted.
He better not try anything. I don’t swing that way.
I think this is just one big excuse to spend the night.

BRICK BUNKER
Jerome’s bunker – tech themed, Brick House Pig with turrets and mines.
(INTERCOM)
Yeah? You dropping off or picking up?
I’m here to pick up an order. Two large pepperoni and a calzone. Name is “Fuck you.”
Very funny asshole. Have fun dying out there.
Do I look like a delivery man to you?
Yeah, you do. You may not work for the Post Office like old man Taylor, but you sure look like someone who plays a lot of fetch.
No, I’m just passing through.
Then go bother Annie. Although she might shoot you the moment you step inside.
Me, I don’t let people into my bunker in the first place. Especially scavs like you.
Neither. I just wanna talk.
Then go bother Franz. He’ll talk, although I can’t guarantee you’ll understand him. But this bunker is off limits. Especially to scavs like you.
I’d really like to come in.
And I’d like a horse so I can tell him where his ass went. But neither’s gonna happen, so get lost.
Screw you then.
Get as mad as you want. Door’s staying closed.
Okay, fine. I’m leaving.
Go on, then.
Well, that’s awfully rude.
Sue me.

Fenris
I couldn’t help but notice you trying to get into that bunker. Perhaps if we work together, we might find a way in.
Why? What’s inside?
Stimpaks. Food. Water. In fact, I’ve staked this location out for months, and seen caravans deliver entire crates worth of supplies.
I’m not sure where the owner gets his caps. But I’m fairly certain he’s the only one inside.
And why would I help you exactly?
My employer is both wealthy and extremely charitable. That charity extends to both her employees and the impoverished.
In that bunker is enough food to feed an entire town. Enough to make you rich. And a single person is hoarding all of it for himself.
So in the end, it doesn’t matter if you’re a bleeding heart or a cold one. Our goals are one and the same.
Sorry, not interested.
I see. I’ll be here if you change your mind.
What are you planning on doing?
The plan is simple. There are two other people living in separate bunkers. And while they rarely speak, the three of them have a bond. A history, if you will.
I believe if we flush the first two out, we can force them to flee to the third owner for help.
That’s when he’ll open the doors and let us all in.
Of course, when I say “flush them out,” it might be best to do it quietly.
(No violence) I agree. We keep the violence to a minimum.
Good. Using fear is much more efficient than blood.
For instance, the man in the first bunker has a fondness for holotapes.
Perhaps if someone replaced his heartwarming dramas with say…a late night horror show…he might be inclined to spend the night elsewhere.
My guess is you can find one at the Museum of Witchcraft. In the meantime, I’ll keep watch here.
What do you mean by that?
The easy solution would be to walk in and start shooting up their homes.
But all it takes is one stray bullet to ruin the plan. Personally, I think this calls for a more artful method.
Sorry, but I’m not a thief.
And I’m not asking you to steal. I just want a word with the man in that bunker.
But even if we did have to take it by force, keep in mind this man is taking far more than he will ever need.
He is stealing milk from the mouths of newborns. He is starving entire families with his avarice.
Remember that as you cling to your false morality.
(Violence) I had a direct solution in mind.
If that’s how you want to play it.
But I’m warning you, the more noise we make, the harder it’ll be to get into that final bunker.
optional, cut the power to his jukebox by cutting the power line outside
optional steal key to jukebox, must be stealth with high pickpocket to get key and use jukebox
Violence path
Remember, don’t kill them. Just shoot anything and everything to make them run.
Killed them
I told you we needed them alive. (Sigh) Perhaps there’s another way in. But I doubt this corpse will lead us to it.
Found bunker
Good work. Now to get those supplies.
If two NPCs led them to the bunker and died
It looks like we found our way in. Which means we won’t be needing these two anymore.
Good that they saved us the trouble.
Non-Violent Path
Have you reconsidered my offer?
Can you explain it to me again?
Fine.
Have you done as I asked?
Job’s done.
Player replaces wrong holotape
Hm…if so, it seems our friend had thicker skin than I thought. Either that, or you chose the wrong holotape to replace.
We’ll have to move on to Plan B.
Player replaced right holotape
Good work. Now all we have to do is wait. But I have a feeling it won’t be long.
Speak of the devil.
Don’t interfere. Let him run inside. Now comes phase 2.
What’s the plan?
This next part calls for two parts. If you’ve noticed, the woman has a fondness for hunting and Diamond City radio.
I want you to place this transponder on her radio antenna and hijack the signal. Let me worry about the content.
Once that’s done, I want you to place this radstag’s head in her freezer. That should be enough to send them scurrying off to bunker three.
Good work. Now we wait.
Come on, let’s follow them in.
NV Scene 4
Thanks for letting us in Jerome. It was very kind of you.
Yeah? Well, I hope you’re happy, because you let these other two mungos in after you.
Especially this one. I told you, I’m not helping your stupid “charity.” This stuff is mine.
You have more than you’ll ever need, boy. You have an obligation to society.
And why should I care about a bunch of surface dwellers? What have they ever done for me?
(For the greater good) It’s for the greater good. Donate a portion of your supplies and it will not be forgotten.
(Failure) The greater good? What the hell does that even mean? Fuck you, fuck Abe, and all the rest of you assholes!
(sigh) You’re right. I don’t want to be selfish. And I…I don’t want people to forget me.
If nothing else, this gesture will show you haven’t forgotten about him.
(Do it and we stay friendly) Better to donate it willingly and keep them friendly.
I don’t need friends. Not when I have turrets. You, Abe, and all your surface dwelling friends can go fuck yourself.
(sigh) You make a good point. Turrets aren’t enough if you two surface idiots managed to get in here.
And the less supplies you hoard, the less attractive this bunker will be to raiders, gunners, and people like myself.
(Threaten) We can do this the hard way, if you want.
I’ve been doing it the hard way all my life. I don’t need you, Abe, or anyone else to tell me different.
So it’s like that then. Well, I can see when I’m outgunned. Take your fucking supplies. But you stay outta my room, or the deal’s off.
(Item Check – Abraham) What about your family? Is this what Abraham would want you to do?
I don’t care what he wants! That old man just left me here to die.
And by hoarding these supplies, you’d be doing the same to him. So that’s it then. You want revenge.
Shut up, asshole! You got it all wrong.
Then prove it. Donate your supplies. Save a life instead of damning one.
All right. Fine. Take anything you want from the supply room. Just don’t touch my things.
(Item Check – No Abraham) What about your family?
Does it look like I have a family? The only person I need to protect is myself.
Scene if speech check fail
That’s too bad. Then we’ll have to take the supplies by force.
Over my dead body!
That’s precisely my intention.
Ending quest
I’ll take it from here. Seeing as we were equal partners in this endeavor, this should cover your half of the bounty.
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the supplies get distributed properly.
Our employer will be pleased. Perhaps I’ll put in a word for you should she need another employee.
Our business is concluded.
You may have noticed a sizable amount of ammo and weapons here. Well, not all food comes in a can.
And not every wound calls for a stimpak. Sometimes the answer is to avoid getting shot.
Snuck in after violence method
VScene 2
So you got past my traps. Pretty damn good for a surface dwelling schmuck.
Wait…I know you. You’re that asshole who’s been hounding me for supplies!
Letter from Abraham, found outside basement but inside house
Dear Jerome, I’ve decided I want to live outside my bunker. There’s a whole world out there, and I want to see it. I miss the sky. I miss breathing real air, no matter how foul it smells.
I know this will make you sad, but you still have Franz and Annie to look after you. I’m sorry. I hope in time you’ll come visit me in my new home.
