Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Duck and Wonder
	So are we supposed to evacuate?
	No, please shelter in place! We need to keep the roads clear so I can deploy my mobile command center and monitor the explosion from as far away as possible.
	So there's no one here who will actually help us?
	Have no fear, the military is always here! As long as those sweet appropriations bills keep rolling in.

	Hello Springfielders! I am The General, and I've been sent to oversee the military response to the missile.
	Oh cool! You're gonna shoot down the missile with that trillion-dollar anti-missile system I always read about in the papers, but we never actually see!
	Sorry, not going to see it this time either.
	Because the missile was fired from a location the anti-missile system doesn't cover?
	More like because we never built any anti-missile system.
	What?!
	So where'd the money go?
	Can I interest any of you in a free commemorative 24 karat gold Leon Panetta bobblehead?
Quest reward: 100 and 10 The General

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1
	Like I've been telling you for years: the government's not gonna protect you, you gotta protect yourself!
	We're safe. Mother made me line our basement with tin foil.
	I'm talking about the incoming missile! Do you want to survive to live out your days in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? Then you need...the Withstandinator.
	Wow, that's a pretty sweet bomb shelter! How much?
	Priced to sell — only slightly more than a Richard Mille watch.
	I think we're gonna have to look for an alternative means of survival.
	Lord help me. I'm logging onto the InfoWars store.

If Herman is owned: Task: "Make Herman Pitch the Withstandinator to Springfielders". The job takes place at Herman's Military Antiques, the Town Hall, or Simpson House and takes 4 hours.
	As much as I hated to, I just sold my Richard Mille watch. So I'll take the Withstandinator, please.
	Sorry, just sold it.
	To whom?
	I forgot to ask when purchasing, but do you have a rewards card?
	Mr. Burns? I would've thought you already had a bomb shelter!
	I do. But I'd rather not trust my life to a product sold by the InfoWars store.
Quest reward: 100 and 10 The Withstandinator

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2
	Joe! What are you doing here?
	I know we haven't spoken since the divorce, but with the missile approaching, I was thinking maybe we could spend our final moments doing something fun!
	Why are we stopping if snacks aren't involved?
	Come with us, baby! I've got the honeymoon suite reserved at the Mountaintop Command Post. It'll be fun...
	Get in line. You're the third of my five ex-husbands to contact me about "spending our final moments doing something fun" in the last ten minutes.
	Hey Stacy! I know we haven't spoken since the divorce, but with the nuclear missile approaching, I was thinking maybe we could spend our final moments doing something fun!
	You know, like test-firing the "Colossal Ray Gun"?
	I need to be more selective about who I marry.

Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Pt. 3
	The missile's getting closer!
	What are we gonna do?
	Don't worry, I've built us a missile shelter! Who says the patriarchy is dead?
	Uh, Dad, that shelter is a cardboard refrigerator box.
	Apparently SOMEONE is unfamiliar with the property tax ordinance that any backyard structure made of concrete counts as a "livable space" and adds to your taxable square footage.
	This shelter doesn't even have a toilet.
	"Livable space".
	Or an air supply.
	"Livable space".
	Or an entrance.
	D'oh!
Task: "Collect Air Raid Sirens" (x115). Task: "Make Homer Cut Out an Entrance for the Shelter". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 2 hours.
	So you're saying a man stole your new refrigerator?
	No, he stole the BOX!
	So you have your new refrigerator?
	Not so "new" without the box!
	Look, there's a nuclear missile coming, I really don't have time for this.
	Easy for you to say. YOU don't have to shoot this week's video for "Ned's Appliance Unboxings" channel with a boxless refrigerator!
Quest reward: 100 and 10 Homer's Bomb Shelter

Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Pt. 4
	Springfield residents, form a single file line and follow me!
	Finally, someone's going to save us!
	Not save you, but the next best thing: let you watch your enemies get annihilated after they've annihilated you! I present to you the previously classified Springfield missile silo.
	Why's it empty?
	What the—?!? Lemme check the missile logs...well, this is embarrassing. Apparently we rented out the missile to Richard Branson this morning so he could fly higher than Jeff Bezos.
	So we're not in danger after all? The missile headed for Springfield is just Richard Branson returning it?
	No, Richard Branson appears to have changed the course of the missile to splash down in the Thames.
Task: "Collect Air Raid Sirens" (x200). Task: "Make The General Cuss Up a Storm". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Rigel 7 Military Base, or Simpson House and takes 2 hours. Task: "Make Springfielders Celebrate Being Alive" (x5). The jobs take place at the Town Hall, Rigel 7 Military Base, or Simpson House and take 4 hours.
	Good news, everyone! We were able to remotely deactivate the missile via the Find My Missile app. The threat is now over.
	Phew! For a moment there I was really worried Springfield would be wiped out again!
	Would've been great.
	Great? Why?
	So we could film a new opening cut scene that doesn't make me look like a moron!
	"Don't worry about the opening cut scene," they said. "The game won't last longer than a few months," they said.
	"Barely anyone will even see the scene," they said. That was 2012. 2012!
Quest reward: 200 and 20 Missile Bunker
