Commentary

Her greetings are entirely mission related.

"Welcome to chaos. That should be our motto."

"If another tour comes to meet "the" David Barron, I'm going to lose it."

"Journalism isn't dead. It's just in cryoshock."

Until you give her an interview:

• "Do you have a story for me, or not?"
• "If you've seen something interesting, let me know."

"If it pans out into a full story, you'll be compensated."

• "I just got a feeling about you. You have a story to tell."

During  A Light in the Darkness:

• "You have another story for me?"
• "You have that look in your eye. What's the scoop?"
• "My source is back. Here to report anything else?"
• "You talk and get paid, I spread the news. It's a classic win/win."
• "If you have a new story for me, I'm very happy to pay your fee."
• "Your stories are a big hit. You lead an... well... amazing life."

During  Primary Sources:

• "Thanks for helping me out with those interviews."
• "I hope you don't run into any trouble down in the Well."
• "This story could be my big break! Thanks for helping me out."
• "I really appreciate you handling things in the Well for me."

If you stop speaking mid-conversation:

• "Searching the old memory banks, eh?"
• "I could take a breather, too."
• "You're... really unusual."

She will end conversations by saying:

• "Back to the grind."
• "Hope to see you again."
• "I have a feeling we'll see each other again."

Dialogue

The first time you speak to her, she will have a unique greeting.

"Welcome to SSNN, where the news never sleeps."

"If you're part of the David Barron fan club, try not to inflate his ego too much."

"He's liable to burst."

	[Q+25?] I really like David Barron.	*sigh* Of course you do.
	David seems like a vain egomaniac.	Sounds like you know him personally.
	Nice to meet you, too.	Sorry. Long day. Longer night. How about a do over?
🗣︎	What's your problem with David Barron?	We spend hundreds of hours digging into stories, sorting the lies from the damned lies. Then David performs a two minute segment and wins an award. Who'd have a problem with that?
🗣︎	Who are you?	A cog in the machine. If you mean literally: Nadia Muffaz. Head researcher of the office. So if we got any facts wrong, I'm the one who files your complaint into the shredder.

"Let's take a look at you. You... "

--

"You're not from around here. My guess is you work, really work, for a living."

"I bet you have a story or two. I have a feeling about such things."

...	Player	Response
	[Q+25?] Actually, your intern asked me to do an interview for you.	Tommy? Tommy did something useful? So you must be the captain of the... Frontier? Rumor is there was a firefight at a mining installation.
	My life has gotten very weird and interesting lately.	Sounds like an old pick up line... But it really has, hasn't it?
	I'm always eager to help the press.	You'd be the first.
	I always wanted to be famous.	I can't promise you that. If your story checks out, your name may not be in the final copy. But... I have the feeling you might be one day.

"I'm interested only in primary sources - so things you've seen and/or done that are newsworthy. No hearsay."

"So, what do you got for me?"

I don't want to do an interview right now.

"Next time, then."

[Q-10?] & [Q-1?]
What stories are you working on right now?

"I'm working on an investigative piece about some of the businesses in the Well right now. Trying to get a handle on how things are in that part of the city."

"I'm not sure the story will get off the ground, though...I asked the higher-ups if I could go down there for some interviews, but they said it's too dangerous."

"They'd probably be all for it if David asked..."

[QE1]

[Q-10?] & [Q+1?]
What stories are you working on right now?

"Still working on that piece about the Well. *Sighs* The higher ups still won't let me go down there for interviews, though."

"I'm not sure how much longer I can keep working on the story without talking to anyone down there."

...	Player	Response
	I'd be willing to do the interviews for you.	[RAD02_InterviewCount = 0?] Really? You sure? The Well's a pretty dangerous place. It might be too much for a first-time reporter... [RAD02_InterviewCount > 0?] Would you really? I'd owe you big time if you did. You've been a huge help on my other stories, I'm sure you'd do great.
X	Tough luck.	Tell me about it. My career's never going to get off the ground at this rate.
🗣︎	You think anyone will read something like that?	I wouldn't be writing it if I didn't. Most people in New Atlantis like to pretend the Well doesn't exist. I think it's important to call attention to what's going on down there.

...	Player	Response
	Consider it done.	Great! I had three interviewees in mind. Theresa Mason, the owner of Kay's House, Henrik Zuran at Apex Electronics, and Nurse O'Shea from the Medbay. You don't need to ask too many tough questions. I just want a read on how their businesses are doing, and how things are in the Well. I really can't thank you enough. [QE10]
X	Actually, I can't help you right now.	Typical. Guess this story's dead in the water. Let me know if you have a change of heart. I think we'd make a good team.
🗣︎	If I help you out, will you give me credit as a co-author?	Who do I look like, David Barron? Yeah, I'd give you credit for your work. Credits, too. I have a small budget for things like this.

How's it working for SSNN?

"We're short-staffed, overworked, and trying to report on a million things at once."

"Not to mention there's a constant battle with the Powers That Be to maintain our journalistic principals."

"So, things are just swell."

--

What's David Barron really like?

"Dear lord. Everyone wants to know about Barron."

"*sigh* He's a smart guy. He cares about what he's reporting."

"He's way too damned cozy with the UC, and that's a problem for us staying impartial."

"My biggest beef with him is he's credited with everything he reports, and he doesn't lift a finger to correct that impression."
