Dialogue

1. 

   KeeperGreat. Jack told me about this foundry already. I'm working on it.

2. 

   KeeperAlright. I'll ask Jack if he knows anything about it.

3. 

   KeeperCan you tell me where the water tunnel to the foundry is, and how I can get through it?

4. 

   KeeperThat tunnel is the only way to reach the area.

5. 

   JackWhat a coincidence...

6. 

   JackThat foundry produced the best steel.

7. 

   KeeperSo I really can get there through the tunnel?

8. 

   JackYou can. But first you'll need to reach the tunnel itself.

9. 

   JackIt's in the infected part of the town.

10. 

    JackRight now the entrance is flooded, and sealed by a valve.

11. 

    KeeperBut it's possible?

12. 

    JackYes. You just need to drain the ship lock.

13. 

    JackYou close the gate on the left side...

14. 

    JackThen open the tunnel by lifting the valve on the right side of the ship lock.

15. 

    KeeperSounds doable... and apparently there's no other way to save the world.

16. 

    JackFirst you'll need to get through all those zombies.

17. 

    KeeperThat's exactly what I'm going to talk about with Herbert.

18. 

    KeeperSo, what's this calculation were you talking about?

19. 

    JackIt's my industrialization plan.

20. 

    JackSee these numbers... even with all the resources I have, it'll take 25 years to reach pre-apocalypse levels.

21. 

    JackAnd that was only supposed to be the beginning...

22. 

    KeeperI see... so what's the problem, now that your resources are covered?

23. 

    JackThere's two main problems.

24. 

    JackI'm all alone here... Even if I built a factory, there'd be no one to work in it...

25. 

    JackThey barely escaped death, but they're all too refined for hard work.

26. 

    JackTrading, services, small crafts...

27. 

    JackThere's nobody anymore who wants to work in a good old manufactory.

28. 

    KeeperThis might surprise you, but... I have plenty of workers willing to work at my factory.

29. 

    KeeperAt least, I hope they're willing... It's better than what they'd be doing otherwise.

30. 

    JackYour factory? With conveyor belts and automated workbenches?

31. 

    KeeperYeah... a real underground facility...

32. 

    JackOh, I'd love to see that!

33. 

    KeeperNow that you're so excited, I feel like I should meet certain expectations...

34. 

    KeeperAs soon as I check everything over, I'll gladly invite you for a tour.

35. The second problem?

36. 

    KeeperWhat's the second problem?

37. 

    JackThe steel quality...

38. 

    JackWe'll never achieve the finest quality steel from the Royal Foundry.

39. 

    KeeperMaybe we can restore it?

40. 

    JackWe might not need to.. Some days ago, I saw smoke coming out of it.

41. 

    JackWe just need someone to reach it, and check whether the iron masters are still producing steel.

42. Ask about the water tunnel.

43. Look at the calculation.
