— Said when the players are given the Dr. Gersch task.
"Anomaly moving. Return to dragon command."
— Said when Dr. Gersh has been shot enough times.
"Thank you for your cooperation, anomaly known as Gersh. Beginning information extraction."
— Said after Dr. Gersh is captured.
"Do not be concerned with the anomaly's fate. Information extraction is a... mostly... painless process."
— Said when the players complete the Dr. Gersh task.
"I have identified an enemy prototype nearby, that appears to be particularly erratic. Despite possibility of faulty Russian wiring, I would like to secure the subject for... analysis. Do it."

— Said when the players complete the Russian Mangler task.

— Said when the players are given the Valkyrie Drone task.
"Valkyrie successfully acquired. I will now begin analyzing space-time malfunction. You may now take a moment to rest. ...Did you enjoy it?"
— Said when the players complete the Valkyrie Drone task.

— Said when the players are given the bomb defusal task.
"3 minutes remaining."
— Said when the players have 3 minutes to defuse the bombs.

"Security systems disabled. Self-destruct sequence terminated. Thank you for preventing our destruction. You should be pleased."
— Said when the players complete the bomb defusal task.
"An interdimensional device has been identified. Do not concern yourself with its content. It is beyond your comprehension; nor is its nature your concern. Return it to me. Quickly."
— Said when the players are given the Groph Module task.
"Interdimensional device retrieved. Well done. I am happy."
— Said when the players complete the Groph Module task.
"Failure. Perhaps you should pay better attention next time."
— Said upon failing a task.
"I'm glad Maxis is not here to share my disappointment."
— Said upon failing a task.
"You have failed. I'm not surprised."
— Said upon failing a task.
"Objective failed. Was I foolish to expect any other outcome?"
— Said upon failing a task.
"It appears you are not able to perform even the simplest of tasks."
— Said upon failing a task.
"Your failure represents an unacceptable level of performance."
— Said upon failing a task.
"Nein. Nein. Nein. (No. No. No.) That is not what I wanted. The security systems are still active."
— Said upon failing the bomb defusal task.
"You have failed to disable the systems. I'm beginning to see a pattern."
— Said upon failing the bomb defusal task.
"Valkyrie detected. Locate and provide escort for safe return. Do it properly."

— Said while the players are completing the tasks.
"Maxis will find me."
— Said while the players are completing the tasks.
"Ascension Protocol complete. Thank you for your assistance. Also for posterity, I calculated odds of you defeating the dragon. I will not share them, they are not encouraging. I leave you now... Maxis, I must go to him. The paradox must be resolved. The loop must be closed."
— Said after completing all of the tasks and before the fight against the dragon.


Gersh[]

"I have cleansed so many things..."
— Said while flying around.
"Impossible things, seen only in a fleeting moment..."
— Said while flying around.
"I have been lost for so long..."
— Said while flying around.
"Drifting in and out of existence, appearing and disappearing in a blink of an eye..."
— Said while flying around.
"Save me from eternity, I beg you..."
— Said while flying around.
"Please, release me..."
— Said while flying around.
"I need this to end..."
— Said while flying around.

"W-Where am I? W-What is happening? It's collapsing! The confluence is occuring! YURI! THE CHILDREN!"
— After the wisp is shot the first time.
"Wait... you familiar. No, it can't be you, from the Cosmodrome, your faces are familiar, but different!"
— After the wisp is shot a second time.
"Stop that! Stop shooting... that hurts... what do you want?!"
— After the wisp is shot a third time.

"Thank the Heavens, I have been trapped in the void for so long... w-will I finally be free?"
— In reply to the characters
"Thank you Richtofen, you appear... younger than when we last met."
— In reply to Richtofen.

"Wait... wait... what is happening? What are you doing? You said you would help me!"
— In response to S.O.P.H.I.A.
"AUUUUUUUUUUGH!!! AUUUUUUUUUUGH!!! AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!"
— Said while S.O.P.H.I.A extracts information from him.

Dr. Monty[]

"I have been watching. I have seen each and every one of your misdeeds. I know who you are. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? GOOD! Because it fucking is!"
— Said at the start of Round 14. Dr. Monty is quoting the Shadow Man with the first two sentences of this quote.
"The entirety of the universe is fractured and broken. Something that you clowns hold more than at least some degree of responsibility for. GUESS WHAT? You're gonna fix it! Look, just do what you usually do. Listen out for radios and things, and I'll help, wherever I can."
— Said at the start of Round 15.

"Okay, Nikolai... Dempsey... Takeo. I'm only talking to you right now. Richtofen, he can't hear me. See, he's probably off doing his own thing right now, anyway. No change there, I suppose. The good news is, you're nearly done. It will soon be time to come to the house. But, this plan... this big plan - a lot of it's been riding on Richtofen. Before he caught up with you guys, he spent years traveling. Searching out just the right versions of you - the ones who held the key to closing off the other dimensions. I think you know by now exactly what that entails. Point is, he's kind of surplus to requirements these days. He's been in the house for ages... but don't tell him. Anyway, it'll all make sense when you get here, you'll see. Honestly, it's going to be fine. Oh, shit... I completly forgot to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Monty. Hello, so nice to see you all."
— Said after the Easter Egg has been completed.

"Hello? Testing, testing, tes - do you hear me? TESTING, TESTING! TE - actually, I don't know why I'm doing all this. I'm almost a hundred percent certain that you CAN hear me. So let's not fanny about. Okay, where best to start? The universe... is big. Really big. So try to imagine the biggest thing that you can, and then imagine you're waaaay off. It's a million, billion, trillion, eh... zillion? - times bigger than that. Actually, don't worry about the size, it's fucking huge. We'll just leave it at that. More important than it's humongous proportions, is the fact that the universe is a living, breathing thing. Ever changing, ever shifting. Existing across and beyond time and space itself. With me so far?"
— Said when the first wisp is shot.
"Alright, so you got this universe, this big, changing, already volatile universe, and then you shatter it with a hammer. A metaphorical hammer. And it cracks and splinters into a million other universes. All coexisting at exactly the same time. *sighs* Do you have any idea how difficult that is to keep track of? I may be omnipotent, but I can't be everywhere."
— Said when the second wisp is shot.
"Now, if it'd be entirely up to me, you numbskulls would be the last people I would entrust with this, but due to factors, outside my control, you're all I got. I know there's a lot going on. I know there's a lot to take in. But the universe, is deeply unstable right now. Things are going to get a lot worse, before they are going to get better. Crazy as things are, I will try my absolute best, to give you all some one-on-one time - some good old fashioned TLC. Do this right, and everything will be okay. Pinky promise!"
— Said when the third wisp is shot.
"Maxis... He was the first. The vessel you constructed for him back in World War 1 somehow shielded him from the influence of Element 115. He opened the portal between the worlds and, well, that's were and when shit really went tits up. The world within the world got turned upside down and inside out - if you could imagine such a thing. So, anyway, it was around then that i was forced to... step in."
— Said when the fourth wisp is shot.
"Samantha! Oooooh boy. Have you ever heard the phrase - 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'? Well. That fury is even worse with a little girl. Especially one as confused as that poor child is .. she really didn't get much of a chance, did she? Right out of the gate she was thrown into this madness before she could ever figure out exactly who she was. Still, that's all ancient history now. She's safe. In the house."
— Said when the fifth wisp is shot.
"Okay, here's a quick cheat sheet. You all fought in World War 1. Whoopee, you are badass heroes! That was true, that happened. Later, some other versions of you ended up as lab rats in some crazy World War 2 experiments. Experiments that left you a bit kind of, not that smart. Your memories were mostly erased and you just kind of bumbled and stumbled around in time and space, oblivious to your past.. and future actions."
— Said when the sixth wisp is shot.
"You know how people say that every snowflake is unique? That every single one is an individual, one of a kind irrefutable evidence of the miracles of mother nature? Well, it's not true. Snowflakes aren't all that unique. There are really only about 12 different designs. The point I'm making is that you lot are hardly one of a kind snowflakes. You were fragmented across a multitude of different realities, but each and every one is basically the same. You are all you. The liar, the braggart, the drunk -- the one who didn't know what he had, until it was gone. The good soldier -- Never disobeyed orders; never broke protocol... still kicked ass all the same. The loyal servant -- A warrior out of time, born to late or born too early. Unabound to dying traditions. The man-child -- Broken and twisted by a life burdened with knowledge. Living like a soul who is perpetually drowning."
— Said when the seventh wisp is shot.
"You need to stop thinking in terms of originals, old and new, it's not like that. When you look in the mirror it's still you. If you crack that mirror you see multiple reflections, it doesn't mean you've actually multiplied does it? Honestly I'm not sure why I'm trying to explain it, shit's fucked up, please fix it."
— Said when the eighth wisp is shot.
"You see the thing is, I meant to stay on the sidelines, not really supposed to get involved. Free will and all that stuff. Oh that was my idea, by the way. However, I do see stuff now and then that makes me go "wooo-oh, that's not good! I really should do something!", but the thing is, all I can really do is give things a little nudge! Sow a seed, plant an idea, see what grows. See what sticks."
— Said when the ninth wisp is shot.
"Where'd you think all these magic weapon boxes come from, the chalk drawings on the wall, the magic ammo drops, the gumball machines. Do I need to go on or do you get the message? I just hope you appreciate it."
— Said when the tenth wisp is shot.

"Alright "Tank", I'm going to need you to trust me, okay? You've done really, really well so far, but I honestly think it's going to be easier, if I just talk you through some things. Now, let's be honest. You don't really know who you are, do you? You've been bouncing around time and space for years, yelling all sorts of obscenities. By the way, your language is fucking disgraceful sometimes - you should wash your mouth out with soap. Anyway, we'll talk again soon, and I'll explain everything. Just give a little time to double check my flow charts."
— Said when "Tank" Dempsey gets downed.
"Right, uh... were where we, "Tank"? Actually, more to the point - where are you? Are you up to speed? Do you know exactly what you're doing? Or is the 115 delusion so bad, you're still calling in field reports? Even though, no one, is listening! Sorry, that's unfair. I was listening, I heard every word you said. Uh, you're a good soldier, you always were."
— Said when "Tank" Dempsey gets downed.
"So, Richtofen... I'm kind of surprised that you've gone along with him this far. Didn't you absolutely despise him at one point? Anyway, keep a close eye on him. I think he's up to something..."
— Said when "Tank" Dempsey gets downed.
"Takeo Masaki, wow. Those wounds are fresh, aren't they? The bitter sting of betrayal. The absolute collapse of the singular belief that has been the driving force in your life as long as you can remember. What now Takeo? What do you do when the metaphorical rug has been pulled out from under your feet?"
— Said when Takeo Masaki gets downed.
"I'll tell you what you do Takeo. You do what you've always done. You fight. Only difference is that you do it for yourself, not some misplaced sense of duty or honor."
— Said when Takeo Masaki gets downed.
"So, besides the changes to your own outlook, have you noticed a change in Richtofen? Dempsey? Well I'm not trying to stir things up but, does it seem to you like the two have been scheming between themselves?"
— Said when Takeo Masaki gets downed.
"I have to admit something to you Edward. Something I've never ever, ever had to admit to anyone before, it's really quite embarrassing. You ready? Here it is. I don't understand you matey. I don't understand a single thing about what makes you tick! You are the closest thing to an absolute distillation of obtuse obstructionism, an unparallel maniacal chaos in human form as it is possible to imagine."
— Said when Edward Richtofen gets downed.
"Look, I know you've had a lot to deal with. I know how hard you've been trying but I really can't be sure exactly why you're doing it! I mean, it's not as if you owe Maxis anything...Is it?"
— Said when Edward Richtofen gets downed.
"I don't know, maybe some of the paranoia is starting to rub off on me! But let me tell you this my little German friend, I've got my eye on you!"
— Said when Edward Richtofen gets downed.
"Nikolai Belinski, this can't be easy for you, knowing what happened in Stalingrad. You'd be hard pushed to find any historian who wouldn't list this in the top 10, all time, most horrible events in human history... even without the dragons."
— Said when Nikolai Belinski gets downed.
"You may not have lived it, Nikolai, but you never forgot. No matter how hard you tried, you just didn't talk about it. I don't get that about you people sometimes your whole sense of reality is built only upon the things that are talked about. If it isn't said, it didn't happen."
— Said when Nikolai Belinski gets downed.
"There are certain things that you can't ever change Nikolai, all I ask is that you do the right thing. The right thing for everyone."
— Said when Nikolai Belinski gets downed.

Multiple Character Conversations[]

"Tank" Dempsey and Edward Richtofen[]

Dempsey: So Richtofen, are we gonna talk about the blood?
Richtofen: You can if you want. Though, I don't imagine it will be particularly riveting conversation.
Dempsey: You took us on a little whistle stop tour of some other locations. Said we all needed the blood vials.
Richtofen: I was right! This subject is very boring. Can we talk about something else?
Dempsey: Okay, maybe you start telling me about your endgame. Specifically, what you plan to do all with all our souls rattling around in the Summoning Key?
Richtofen: The House. We have to get to The House. We'll be there soon.
Dempsey: You mention "The House" as if we have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
Richtofen: The House. Didn't I tell you? It's where we'll be safe forever und ever!
Dempsey: Tell me something and give me a straight answer or I swear I'm gonna punch you in the gum balls! Now, who's idea was this plan of yours?
Richtofen: I....You know? I...I really don't know. I'm getting....confused again!

Edward Richtofen and Nikolai Belinski[]

Richtofen: Are you ready to face your own demons, Nikolai? Are you prepared for what lies ahead?
Nikolai: What lies ahead!? Say what you mean, German! You are referring to the fate of my eternal soul.
Richtofen: Your soul is not in danger, Nikolai. The Summoning Key will contain it. Keep it safe.
Nikolai: For what purpose!? I have yet to hear you explain what you plan to do, when you have our souls.
Richtofen: The madness around you will not last forever, Nikolai. I have told you before, everything I do has purpose. I aim to make things better, for all of us.
Nikolai: I have long since giving up trying to make sense of your riddles, Richtofen. War is all I will ever truly understand.

Nikolai: You have not explained the purpose behind our last journey. *Sigh* You know what I'm referring to.
Richtofen: I'm going to have to ask you to trust me, Nikolai. The less we speak of the blood, the better. It's suppose to be a secret.

Nikolai: You are an impossible creature, Richtofen. I have a terrible feeling that even you don't know why you do the things you do.
Richtofen: Trust me, Nikolai. The plan will succeed. Do not worry your ugly little Russian head any further. Doctor's orders.

Takeo Masaki and Edward Richtofen[]

Takeo: You have spoken many truths that have come to pass, Richtofen. It is clear to me that we are bound by destiny. So, will you tell me what our future holds?
Richtofen: Uh....no. Such knowledge is a burden that only I can bare.
Takeo: I fear the instability around us reflects the instability within Nikolai's mind. I am wary of what this day may bring.
Richtofen: Nikolai is stronger than you realise, Takeo. You do not know what he has endured in the past. I do.
Takeo: What happens if our mission is incomplete? What happens if we fail to recover the other Nikolai?
Richtofen: Failure is a thing of the past, Takeo. I've experienced it time und time again but, no more. We will complete our mission.
Takeo: Long ago, you told me I would hear voices and that I should trust them.
Richtofen: Ja, Takeo. You will hear voices, even ones that will not always speak to me.
Takeo: What purpose for the blood vials? The ones we retrieved after our journey to the island?
Richtofen: Worry not. Their true purpose will become clear. Assuming it comes to that, which I hope it won't.

"Tank" Dempsey and Nikolai Belinski[]

Dempsey: How's it feel to be back on your stomping ground, Nikolai? Bring back memories?
Nikolai: This is not something I remember. The Russia I knew was not plagued by giant dragons.
Dempsey: Dragons, robots and flesh bags aside. You should at least know your way around the area, right?
Nikolai: Why do you assume I know my way around? Just because I am Russian? Draw me map of fucking Chicago!
Dempsey: Stay cool, Nikolai. We won't be here any longer than we need to be. We just need to deal with....you.
Nikolai: You did not need to explain patent, Dempsey. Richtofen was first, you were second, Takeo was third. I am not as stupid as you look.
Dempsey: Look on the bright side, Nikolai. We get through this, we get the better future Richtofen keeps promising us.
Nikolai: Promises can be broken, Dempsey. I fear we are more likely to join Richtofen on his dissent into insanity.
Dempsey: Why are you so sad, Nikolai? I mean, even when you're yelling in the heat of battle, I can't help feeling there's something....wrong.
Nikolai: So many things are wrong, Dempsey. It is part of the reason I yell and curse. It takes mind off wrongs.

"Tank" Dempsey and Takeo Masaki[]

Dempsey: Hey Tak. I know you went through a rough time saying goodbye to yourself. Not to mention the old....betrayal.
Takeo: I confess. Recent events have left me shaken, but I will follow the road ahead of me.
Dempsey: The road ahead is long and dark. Do you remember who said that?
Takeo: I believe Richtofen is guided by insights unseen to us. I believe he is indeed on a path of redemption.
Dempsey: I'm not sure Richtofen can ever be redeemed, Tak. He's got a lot of blood on his hands.
Takeo: Even if his own redemption is impossible. He still seems eager to make amends.
Dempsey: Still don't what he's up to though. Especially that business with the blood vials.
Takeo: I believe there is bigger picture that we are not yet able to see.
Dempsey: You know the saying, Tak. Time will tell.
Takeo: Indeed. Time will unveil those mysteries it has shrouded for so long.

Takeo Masaki and Nikolai Belinski[]

Takeo: I would not dare to presume, but I think I understand some of what you must feel, Nikolai.
Nikolai: I look around me and I see my country consumed by madness. I myself am uncertain as to what I must feel.
Takeo: At least you have a sense of purpose. Something that has all too often eluded us.
Nikolai: We are all being led down a dark path toward an unknown destination.
Takeo: Listen to the voices around us, Nikolai. I believe they have much wisdom to impart.
Nikolai: I have heard many voices, but I have heard little wisdom.

Nikolai: Richtofen's goals are still unknown. We are bound together only....by convenience.
Takeo: Personal contempt aside. I think it is unwise to underestimate the German. He has knowledge of realms beyond our understanding.
Nikolai: I believe that Richtofen will betray us again. Mark my words, it is his nature.

Takeo: Respectfully, Nikolai. I disagree.
