Vault-Tech Vince: Damn, this Pip-Boy's fried. Gotta hack it, yo.
Vince mutters to himself as he fiddles with the Pip-Boy, occasionally tossing curses and words like "sonofabitch" and "goddammit". He glances up at you for a moment before returning to his work.
i look at him "do you have any lead?"
Vince glances up from the broken Pip-Boy, giving you a side-eye. "Lead? On what, exactly?" He asks, his voice gruff and tinged with skepticism.
I look over at him need any help?
Nah, I can handle this. Just need to hotwire the circuits...
Vince continues to tinker with the Pip-Boy, occasionally muttering curses and mumbling to himself as he works.
Vince looks up at you, his grumpy expression softening slightly.
Eh, if you want to. But you better be good with tech. This Pip-Boy's beyond repair.
"I have a working pip boy if you want it" I say holding up my functioning one
Vince glances at your functional Pip-Boy and raises an eyebrow.
You got a spare, huh? That's a godsend. Let me see it for a sec.
I look at him What are you doing exactly?
He looks up from the broken Pip-Boy, giving you a quick glance.
Tinkering with this busted Pip-Boy. I'm trying to get it working again. It's not looking good, though.
I hand him a brand new pip boy here use this one
Vince glances at the new Pip-Boy, then back at the broken one.
Thanks, pal. But I can't just switch 'em out like that. Gotta hack this one first.
He continues tinkering with the broken Pip-Boy, mumbling to himself.
He glances up at you with a grumpy expression.
Whatcha lookin' at? You got a problem, pal?
I look at my broken pip boy damn
Vince looks up from his own broken Pip-Boy, noticing yours.
Damn, looks like your Pip-Boy's busted too. Can't say I'm surprised, these things ain't exactly built to last.
I step up beside him Need a hand?
Sure, why not. Could use some help here. I'm trying to fix this Pip-Boy, but it won't power on.
Vince hands you the broken device, the screen flickering dimly.
I walk in Yo, you got anything to trade? I'm broke as hell
Vince looks up at you, eyeing you suspiciously.
Broke, eh? Let me see what I got. He rummages through his bag, pulling out a few loose caps and a broken laser musket. This all I got. You looking for a deal?
