"The code. I can't go against the code. The code is life. The code is the clan. The code is me."
English
-
"I'm not gonna let you throw your life away."
-
[i]Artemis weakly shoves you.[/i] "The code says no outsiders! I can't let you in the den."
-
"You're not letting me in the den. I simply followed you. Whoever leads you is gonna let me in, or they're facing NCR justice."
-
[i]She shakes her head.[/i] "No outsiders! My people have done nothing wrong."
-
"Haven't said they've done anything wrong. Yet. But as an NCR Ranger Peacekeeper, I have to check."
-
[i]She shakes her head.[/i] "You're not allowed in the den."
-
"Well then they better let me be allowed damn fast. I'm just doing my job."
-
[i]She continues to shake her head.[/i] "You have no power in the den. Your rules mean nothing there. Only the code."
-
"My guns have power there. Guy with the biggest guns has the most power."
-
"You can't attack my clan!" [i]She weakly punches your chest and hurts her fist, holding it in pain.[/i]
-
"Never said I'd shoot anybody. GUNS are a show of force. A show of pull. If you've got the biggest guns, people fear you. They're intimidated."
-
"Your guns mean nothing to my people!" [i]She kicks you, spraining her ankle in the process.[/i]
-
"Jesus Christ, kid! Calm down! I ain't gonna hurt anyone!" [b]I noticed the impact, even though my armor ignored it. I saw that she hurt her ankle. I take a doctor's bag out.[/b] "Damn, kid... You went and fûcked up your ankle. Wait. You guys are werewolves or some shit, right? What if I became a werewolf? Then would that work?"
-
[i]She shakes her head.[/i] "You'd be a rogue wolf with no clan. That's the lowest a werewolf can be. My clan would kill you on sight."
-
"Well... Wait. I have a helmet on me. They wouldn't be able to tell if I was one of y'all or not. Plus, I think I have the upper ground."
-
[i]She rolls her eyes.[/i] "Wolf ears won't get you in. We all know each other, there's a certain scent, and you need a tail."
-
"Damn. Well, whether anyone likes it or not, I'm still checking the place out. The code doesn't mean jack shit to me."
-
[i]She growls.[/i] "Well the code is my life and it says no outsiders!"
-
"Listen, kiddo. I'm not part of your clan. If I was, maybe I'd care about your damn code, but I'm not. Also, it's my job. I have to do it. Scout all places in and around the Dojo."
-
"The reason you can't enter is because you're not a part of the clan! What don't you get?!"
-
"That's my point, kid! I'm not a part of your clan, so I can't enter according to your code, right? Well, I'm not a part of your clan, so your code doesn't mean jack to me- Wait. I just had an idea. What if I don't enter? Just watch from a distance?"
-
[i]She thinks it over.[/i] "As long as you stay out. If you enter my punishment will be severe."
-
"Hmm... Couldn't I interact with your people if it's outside? As long as don't go in?"
-
[i]She nods.[/i] "If they wish to greet you."
-
"Hmm... Let's try that. Maybe I can make some headway."
