5625478+7878 is a cipher key that is essential to deciphering the rest of the message. Let's look at the first part. By typing 5625478+7878 on a phone key pad you get the letters LOCKHRTSURV. Using the key the rest of the message can be translated. Lock at ZYX. They are in the last three letters of the alphabet but backwards. This is an indicator for you to translate the coded message backwards.
[reversed order] "Where the fuck you came from? It's time to go. Come on, move your ass! Don't tell me you've never seen a gun before. What the fuck are you looking at kiddo?"
The question now is who are the subjects in the conversation? The answer comes from the key 5625478+7878 which spell out LOCKHRTSURV. The '+' separates LOCKHRT + SURV as though they are two separate entities. My theory is that the key itself is a small message telling us the subjects are Desmond Lockhart and Survivor 2299 with Lockhart nagging at the inexperience of Survivor 2299 like a level 1 character. This setups that Survivor 2299 might be the character you'll be able to customize and level up as you play though the game. Also, this establishes that Lockhart will play a key role in mentoring Survivor 2299 as he/she learns the skills necessary to adapt to the wasteland.
