"Hey, you! I need your help! We were running brain scans this morning when a horde of ghouls invaded the place. My poor little pug, Frank, got left behind. Can you go retrieve him for me?"
[[1) (LIE) Hmm.. I would but.. I have a.. uh, a clarinet recital. Sorry.->1b]]
[[2) What's in it for me?->1c]]
[[3) Say no more. I got this.->2b]]
[[4) No. Mind your own business, lady.->1a]]"All I can give you up front is some caps. But inside there's a medical journal that my colleague Doctor Snider would pay a fortune for in Diamond City."
[[1) Alright. You've got yourself a deal.->2d]]

[[2) No, sorry. I'm not really feelin' it.->3f]]"Oh, you play clarinet? Me too. Are you familiar with Lars Kristian Brineldsen and his work in the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra?"
[[1) (LIE) Of course. I'm a big fan of his clarineting and love that song where he plays the clarinet.->2c]]
[[2) Nevermind. I'll get your stupid dog back. Wait here.->2b]]"Thank you so much! Here take these. Sometimes when I try to catch Frank, he thinks it's playtime and wants you to catch him. But as soon as I whip these out, he comes running."

"Ah, it appears we have another. Turn around now while you still have the chance, human. Or face my army of ghouls! But perhaps it doesn't matter. Once my project has come full circle, I will finish what The Great War started and erase your kind from existence!"

[[2) Calm down. I'll help, but I expect a payout.->2a]]"I find that hard to believe. There's not many appreciators of the clarinet in this post-apoalyptic wasteland, let alone people who've heard of a late-twentieth century performer. What's your favorite performance?"
[[1) (Lie) You know that one where he's on the stage in the place with the music and all the people? God, I love that one. I mean, wow.->3a]]
[[2) (Intelligence) It's a tie between his January 19th show with the Bergen Woodwind Quintet and the encore later that summer at Royal Albert Hall. I found his Director work later in his career to be lackluster, but his candenzas certainly stand the test of time.->3b]]//SUCCESS!//

//March 11, 2286//
Today marks the beginning of Experiment 14BA6, known internally as "Project Frank". I've convinced my colleague to allow us to use her dog, Frank, as a subject in our work. Given that we will be conducting low frequency brain scans, the risk for Frank is relatively low. I anticipate we will see results in two weeks time, however, there is a possibility we may have to increase the potency of our scans at which point Frank may begin feeling discomfort.
//March 18, 2286//
Thus far we have seen little to no results. Each time we attempt to communicate, we are met with radio silence from the amplification satellite. I fear we may have to increase the frequency, but that is still a small price to pay for a breakthrough in cross-species understanding.
//March 20, 2286//
Amazing! By doubling the range of our scans in the Broca's and Wernicke's areas, we have picked up our first response from Frank, albeit short. He responded that he is in some sort of pain. Unfortunately, that is not a luxury we have. We are at the forefront of innovation and cannot be hindered by an animal's feelings now.
//March 25, 2286//
It appears Frank is growing a tolerance for the scans, but detests being a test subject. As a result, his owner is demanding we stop the tests at once. I have taken the liberty of revoking her access card so she will not be a hindrance any further.
//March 29, 2286//
Currently taking Med-X to help deal with this head pain. Frank communicated with us today that he understands Rachel will not be returning. He is very "unpleased." He went on to accuse us humans of being a selfish race, indifferent to the pain we inflict. Soon after, our heads began throbbing as is they were about to explode. The pain immediately subsided as we shut off the Amplification Satellite.
//March 30, 2286//
Ghouls pound on the door as I sit here in my final moments typing this entry. Today our experiments crossed the line. Frank gained mastery over the Amplification Satelite and emitted a howl, commanding a horde of ghouls from across the Capital Wasteland to our location. From our brief interaction this morning, Frank intends to use the satelite to enlist not only ghouls, but also radscorpions, mirelurk queens, deathclaws, and many other treacherous beasts of the wasteland to his cause: death to humanity.

''SUBSTANCE J PROJECT NOTES''
//January 15, 2286//
My meeting with Dr. Stevenson today was peculiar to say the least. He has assigned my team and I to revive a project from last year that was a blatant and unmistakeable failure. While our initial findings with 'Substance J' were quite remarkable, the long-term effects on the human body were just too severe. I was very clear that crafting a version of the drug without lasting complications was near impossible. However, Stevenson isn't concerned with the side-effects. He only wants us to magnify the potency.
//January 20, 2286//
The revival of Substance J began today. In short, we are taking derivatives commonly found in Mentats and compounding them in a pressure chamber to catalyze them to some degree. The aim is to create a hyper-concentrated brain activity accelerator.
//January 26, 2286//
The past week has been uneventful. Nothing new to report. We are stuck in the same phase as last year. Each attempt to dial up the atmospheric pressure is met with the substance desintigrating.
//January 30, 2286//
Incredible. Simply incredible. While experimenting with outliers today we have found an unlikely breakthrough. Substance J appears to remain stable when exposed to extreme heat (1250 degrees Celsius). I've handed off a few samples to Dr. Stevenson. The possibilities of this drug are inconceivable. We may have found a way to access the other 90% of our mind's potential. I must admit part of me fears what I've created.

"That can't be true. It just can't. I thought she left me here to die."
[[1) She's outside waiting for you. There's still a chance to let this all go.->E1aaaa]]
[[2) You deserve to die. You're responsible for the death of everyone in this building.->E1aaab]]"But I've come too far to simply turn around. The plan must go on..."
[[1) Do you want a Pupperoni treat?->E1aaaaa]]"Perhaps you are right. Evidently, I'm not as all-knowing as I once thought. Do as you wish with me, human."
[[1) Kill Frank->E1aaaba]]
[[2) Pet Frank->E1aaabb]]//You shoot Frank. He falls off the platform and lays motionless on the metal floor.//
[[Moments later...->E1aaabaa]]//You pet Frank while he eats his treat.//
[[1) Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?->E1rachel2]]"A pupperoni treat? No.. I must not give in to my primal instincts. I am God. I can't. I won't... okay... maybe just one."
//You give Frank a treat. He is enamored with it and lets his guard down.//
[[1) Kill Frank->E1aaaba]]
[[2) Pet Frank->E1aaabb]]//Rachel rushes up to you as you exit the building.//
"Did you find Frank? Is he okay? Please tell me he's alive."
[[1) Frank got sent to live in a farm upstate. My condolences.->E1rachel]]''END''

"Thank you so much. I don't know how I could ever repay you. I hope Frank wasn't too much of a hassle. He can be quite the handful sometimes!"
[[1) He almost used telekinetic powers to unite every dangerous creature in the wasteland in a crusade to destroy humanity.->E1rachel2a]]
[[2) No. He was fine.->E1rachel2b]]"Frank, did you try to commit mass genocide?! That's a very bad boy!"

[[1) Frank? Is that you?->E1a]]//A searing pain shoots through your skull. You scream in pain.//
"How cute. We have a little comedian here. Keep up the jokes and I'll keep up the pain. Now tell me, how do you know that name?"
[[1) Your owner, Rachel, sent me in here to get you. She's worried about you.->E1aa]]"I suggest you choose your next words very carefully. You've seen what I'm capable of on your way in."
[[1) Your wish is my command, sir.->E2b]]"Splendid. Now come pick me up. History doesn't write itself."
[[1) Pick Frank up->E2c]]//A few days later...//
//You stand atop the building holding Frank. Deathclaws, super mutants, mirelurk queens, and more of the most vile creatures in the wastleand stand in neat, single file lines stretching back 100 yards. They gaze up at Frank as he gives an impassioned, telekinetic speech.//
"...blood alone moves the wheels of history! No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself. One is either the hammer or the anvil. Today, we confess that it is our duty to let humans know our role as the hammer. Animals of the wasteland, unite! Now go and reclaim what is rightfully ours. Attack!"
//The creatures roar in unison and stampede outward. Frank nibbles on a Little Oinkers Pupperoni treat.//

[[1) C'mon, you wanna get in the car? You wanna go to the park?->E3aa]]"The car.. the park.. The memories are all flooding back. Yes, I want to go to the--no! Be strong, Frank. Stick to the plan."
[[1) Do you want a treat?->E3aaa]]//Frank starts barking excitedly on his hind legs. You pick him up and give him a Little Oinker's Pupperoni Treat.//
