Ascension/Radios

There are six radios hidden in Ascension.

They need to be found in order to activate the next radio in the sequence. Each message concerns either Yuri Kravcheski, a Russian scientist who is in the Ascension group, Gersch, his superior, or both.

Radio 3


"(STATIC) I give you my sincere gratitude for that... but now, down to business, I am pleased to report all projects are running smoothly and there are some personal changes as i had previously mentioned. Yuri Kravcheski is a brilliant scientist but it has been shown he is incapable of handling "Project Mercury", or as you call it, "the Gersch Device". (a slight chuckle), and so do to numerous setbacks and delays I am forced to transfer Yuri to 1864-A experiments. I have decided that your nephew should take his place. I look forward to working with him directly. The Der Riese incident with the clatsmere mechanism leaves no doubt in my mind, that this is the right decision. The explosion caused the mechanism significant damage, it will take time to re-manufacture all of the parts, unless some can be salvaged. (STATIC)"

- Gersch

Radio 1


"(STATIC) Rockets.... They transferred me to work on ROCKETS! These experiments require no feelings, no imagination, my intellect is spent blasting a bunch of monkeys into the Earth's atmosphere. (sigh) But I can't fight Gersch over this. I will just have to hold my tongue under my teeth, ja? No one else here understands what "Project Mercury" is truly capable of. Till then this lab will have to do - wait: is that a matryoshka doll...? Did someone let a child-? (STATIC)"

- Yuri

Radio 5


"(STATIC) -(opening) the boxes today. Some lebanke left his teddy bear in one- a disgusting and filthy toy! I can't believe someone would let a child onto this base! Thank God they did not take the diary: the things I have learned about the Element (STATIC). I'll have to conduct these experiments on my own, away from the destructive hands of Gersch! His research in Project Mercury has stalled, but will HE be transferred?! I doubt it! As long as Project (STATIC) is on track, his friends will (STATIC) I must think small. (STATIC)"

- Yuri

Radio 4


"(STATIC) I assure that our craft will be far superior to what the Americans... or should I say, Canadians (chuckles) are developing. Project Thunder is nearing completion. My staff has assured me that the calculations of the effective range and power cells will be solved within the next few months - also, you should know that Doctor Kravcheski does not appear to be adjusting to his new position. He has been hostile towards the other scientists - I mean, more than usual - and he has been seen frequently muttering to himself. The transition must have been hard for him, but if he does not learn his place soon... I may require another, more competent scientist to replace him. (STATIC)"

- Gersch

Radio 5


"(STATIC) They're entering my head! Always my head! I can't hinter, I can't, OOF, I can't stop it! Keep it out! I want you to LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Come on there! No, no I won't! Shut The Fuck Up! STOP! J-Just stop! Fine... Okay, okay, I'll- (STATIC)"

- Yuri

Radio 6


"(STATIC) Yuri: the fact that you're in this lab again is reason enough to have you permanently removed! (STATIC)"

- Gersch

"Do not worry, you won't be disappointed (chuckles). In fact, I'm sure you won't forget it! ...But I can't take all the credit. If you will, er, do the honors."

- Yuri

(Gersch activates something, and electricity surges, followed shortly by Zombie growls)

"What the-?!"

- Gersch

(More electricity surges, but louder this time)

"No! No! Yuri, you-."

- Gersch

"Having Fun?!"

- Samantha Maxis

"(screams as he is presumably killed)"

- Gersch

"(Laughs evilly) You fat pig! Enjoy your bed! Heheheh, heh... (Begins to panic) No! No no no! No no no no no! What have I done?! What have I do-?! (STATIC)"

- Yuri
