Well, here we are again. Can we drop this now, or are you planning on coming back every three months or so for the rest of our lives? Really, it's almost sad how predictable this all is. You hit plot point A or B, usually somewhere in the middle part of this whole mess, and then you start poking at me trying to get a reaction. I hate to break it to you, but it's not gonna work this time, no matter how often you start talking about misguided attempts to take over a public works project, or... what was that you said about a computer terminal in Grayditch?

...You know what, forget I said that. All of that. Right now. Please?

[S i g h.] Yeah, it's good to see you, too.

["Public works project"... oh hell no, that's-]

...Project Purity.

Uh, hi, if you'd be so kind as to apply the forgetting part, too, that'd be great.

How- why- that's- [Oops, where'd her Speech skill go?]

I'm the one who reactivated the thing! I took a massive dose of radiation in it! My father died in there! How'm I supposed to forget that?!

[Don't look at him, his speech score's vanished too]

Oh -- that'd be you, that-- changes things a bit, doesn't it. [is it too late to just run.] Obviously, you don't... have to forget that part, I know how that goes. But... look, if you could just do me a favor in what's sure to be the brief remainder of my life and not tell the NCR I said anything I'd... it'd be appreciated.

What's an "NCR"? Promise not to mess with the Purifier or the Brotherhood, and I won't cause you any trouble. ...I'm not a monster like Autumn. [Blech, Enclave. Blech blech blech.]

Oh, sorry, that's New California Republic. From California, surprisingly enough. You wouldn't know it, though, if you've spent too long in the Mojave, what with all the troops they're pouring in.

But honestly, messing with attempts to actually improve things out here isn't really my style. More like the opposite.
