Scientist 1 was an analytical biochemist who got in over his head.
These tie into one of my downstream objectives, to make a player-run lab with NPCs staffing it. Next update I will probably divorce 'field of expertise' from the survival story, so each scientist is spawned with a different field - Biology, Chemistry, Physics - and associated dialogue and quest options for that. For now, I'm keeping it simple, one background trait per survivor.

Summary
SUMMARY: Content "NPC Dialogue: role-specific survivor stories"Purpose of change
Creates survival stories that are specific to survivors that had certain jobs or roles at the time of the cataclysm. In specific this applies to teenagers, criminals, and numerous professionals.
Several of these stories are incomplete, hence this being marked as a WIP.
Describe the solution
These use traits that are assigned based on NPC class - see #26929
These also use snippets I have added in another PR - #26930
These options should only be visible in NPCs that are part of your party. Adding the first dialogue option to the NPC seems to be hard-coded: I may need some help getting that started, although since I created the initial pull request I've learned a lot.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Not applicable.
Additional context
Previously part of another pull request, #26834. This file has not been changed since that PR. Split up for ease of review. And that's the last of it... off to close that PR now.
