Dialogue
<MISSING FIRST CONVERSATION>
PHIN O'GAREE: Hello again.
PLAYER:
I'd like to trade.
<open trade menu>
PLAYER: I have some questions about your business. PHIN O'GAREE: Alright then. Ask your questions.
PLAYER: "If you need it, we got it." What if you can't get it? PHIN O'GAREE: If we can't get it, it can't be got.PLAYER: That's quite a boast. PHIN O'GAREE: Not... not a boast if it's true. Then, it's just me sharing pertinent information. Idiot.PLAYER: Here's some pertinent information: you're a child. PHIN O'GAREE: You're a child.PLAYER: Well, thank you. I appreciate your expertise. PHIN O'GAREE: That's why we're here, ''friend''. You know they make a communinet program about the O'Garee family and our weekly adventures.PLAYER: I'll listen for it, thanks. PHIN O'GAREE: Atreides Radio. Frequency 556.9 on your communinet dial.PLAYER: You go on weekly adventures? PHIN O'GAREE: How else are we going to fill our shelves? There's no kinda manufacturer you can order fresh scrap from--trust me, I've looked. It's basically gotta fall out of the sky first. And luckily, it does fall out of the sky! Practically every day. Bless every noble and their beautiful wars.PLAYER: I've heard that show. Doesn't every episode turn into an advertisement? PHIN O'GAREE: All high-art is subsidized through commerce.PLAYER: I don't think that's true. PHIN O'GAREE: What do you know about high-art?PLAYER: I've heard your show. You're high if you think it's art. PHIN O'GAREE: Get out of here.PLAYER: Where do you go to find salvage? PHIN O'GAREE: Warzones! Find the hottest sectors and learn the lay of the land. Monitor the communinet for sector chatter. The locals will let you know where to look way before you stumble onto it yourself.PLAYER: But where do YOU go? PHIN O'GAREE: That's like asking a fisherman for directions to his secret spot. He'll never tell you, and you shouldn't believe him if he did.PLAYER: Someone could follow you. PHIN O'GAREE: A few have tried. My youngest Sally and her brother Koda make sure it doesn't happen twice.PLAYER: You take your children into warzones? PHIN O'GAREE: That's where the salvage is. But at this point, it's more like they take me. We've got Sally and Koda on perimeter. That Sally has a nose for finding fresh wrecks. I'd swear she shoots 'em down herself. Koda'll gut you if you look at him wrong, so it's best not to look at him. Then you got Bree, Phaedra, and Phin Jr. handling general salvage. Junior's a laser ace on the cutteray, but Phaedra'll give the Kirab a run for their money at stripping wrecks. She takes after her mother in that way. Then there's me and the old lady. I oversee the whole operation, and she flies us there.PLAYER: Have you been at this a long time? PHIN O'GAREE: My family's been in 'opportunistic acquisitions' for five generations now. Going all the way back to Hagal.PLAYER: What's Hagal like? PHIN O'GAREE: There's no place like it--until you've seen the blue sun rise above the white grasses of the Iofic Veldt, you haven't lived. They don't call it the Jewel Planet for nothing.PLAYER: Is there a big market for scrap on Hagal? PHIN O'GAREE: Let's just say the skills required for expert battlefield salvage are somewhat transferable to other pursuits.PLAYER: Sounds shady. PHIN O'GAREE: That depends on your definition of 'shady'. We never took anything from anyone who hadn't been dead at least a century.PLAYER: So you were tomb robbers? PHIN O'GAREE: We prefer to say we were in the business of 'opportunistic acquisitions'.PLAYER: What made you come to Arrakis? PHIN O'GAREE: You know how it is. Hagal's an ancient core world. Too many mice chasing the same crumb of cheese. By comparison, Arrakis is a land of milk and honey. I know, I know. It's hot, and there's all the sand. But it is what you make of it. Tidjii and I are from a different generation. Hagal wasn't working out, but did we sit around pissing and moaning about it? No sir. We pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and lit out for greener pastures.PLAYER: On another topic...
PLAYER: I'd like to talk about something else. <conversation returns>
PLAYER: Goodbye. <Conversation ends>
