| - {Angry} What do you want?
- {Firm, direct / Stern} If you've come to change our minds, then you're wasting your time.
- {Barbed compliment / Amused} Your determination is admirable, if misguided.
- {Stubborn, a little resentful} What others call complaining, I call critical thinking and challenging assumptions.
- Because we could do so much more. But no, everyone is obsessed with these damn synths.
- Nice to meet someone who isn't obsessed with replacing people with machines.
- {Confident, moral certainty / Confident} Remove us by force, and everyone will fear and despise you.
- {Bitter, ashamed / Sad} I suppose I'll never be trusted again.
- {Firm in your resolve / Confident} I assure you, Doctor Loken and I are prepared to make any sacrifice in order to uphold the ideals of the Institute.
- {Resentful / Angry} I'm not taking orders from you.
- {Confident, moral certainty / Confident} The answer is no. We will not back down.
- You've just arrived, so perhaps it isn't apparent to you yet, but in time you'll see what I mean.
- {Confident, caught someone sneaking around / Confident} Aha! I thought I heard something.
- {Resigned, done, walking away / Sarcastic} Then there's nothing more to talk about, is there?
- Well, thank you for your patience and understanding in this difficult time.
- {Angry. / Angry} What? This is the third time in two weeks. This is unacceptable. How could this happen?
- {Sarcasm, a threat / Amused} So by all means, come and join us. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
- I've been saying for years that we're too reliant on these synths, but nobody wants to listen.
- {Confident, moral certainty / Confident} Nor will you.
- {Bitter, ashamed / Apologetic} I wasn't expecting you to let us live. That surprised me.
- What's being planned here is much more than that. I'm talking about synths replacing human beings.
- In any case, I suppose I should say welcome.
- It's wasted potential, that's what it is.
- {A half-hearted attempt at being sympathetic. / Neutral} I suppose I should offer you my condolences on the loss of your son. Very well, then.
- {Unimpressed / Stern} I suppose you think you deserve credit for bringing the reactor online. Nonsense.
- Maybe you can talk some sense into them.
- {Angry / Angry} No, you're wrong. You see, I've tried talking. For years I've suggested that we do things differently here, but nobody listens.
- {Stern rebuke / Stern} You haven't earned my respect and you never will.
- No, the risk is too great.
- {Unimpressed, then a warning / Stern} Oh really? Our synth guards are programmed to attack anyone who enters here.
- {Resigned, weary, admitting defeat, but hopeful for a brighter future / Tired} Very well, then. Open the door and let's return to the fold.
- But I can see you're having a joke at my expense. You're hardly the first.
- {Angry, sarcastic, berating a cleaning robot / Angry} Perhaps after you've been disassembled, we can use your components to make something that's actually useful.
- {Skeptical the player is ready to be the director... there's an edge of scorn here / Neutral} I suppose you got what you wanted, director.
- {Resentful, bitter} Spend enough time here and you'll be sick to death of the word "synth". I certainly am.
- {A difficult truth... it is what it is / Neutral} Unfortunately, you don't have Father's scientific background.
- {Bitter, ashamed / Sad} There's no need to gloat. I'm man enough to admit that I lost.
- {Biting sarcasm, wounded pride / Angry} Father chose not to talk to the Directorate before annointing you his successor, so how about I follow his fine example?
- {Confident / Neutral} I agree that the transition will be chaotic, but eventually, a leader will emerge from that chaos.
- {Angry / Angry} Damn it! You're all useless.
- {Bitter / Angry} Oh, look who it is.
- {Bitter / Angry} What choice do we have?
- {Disappointed} I suppose you don't care.
- {Firm rejection / Stern} Out of the question.
- {Frustrated} I want more patrols, and more rounds.
- {Panic, a shouted warning / Angry} Look out!
- {Shocked / Surprised} Max, no!
- {Thinking it over / Thinking} A chance? Hm.
- {Weary / Tired} If only it were that simple.
- {Confident, almost cocky... taunting / Confident} You and the others will go hungry long before we do.
- {Conciliatory, admitting defeat / Neutral} What do you think, Max?
- {Confident, moral certainty / Confident} Far from it. What we do, we do to protect the Institute.
- {Scolding.} Compose yourself, man. We've always known the risks, but we are still in control.
- {Annoyed, mocking} Father's heir apparent. She made it past your impenetrable defenses.
- {Cornered, desperate... play it big, you're expecting to die / Afraid} No! I refuse! Now do your worst!
- {Frustrated} I'll figure out what happened, but in the meantime, tell the others to be on high alert.
- Real people doing real thinking and real work. That's the future I want.
- Perhaps a fresh perspective will do some good around here.
- {Confident, moral certainty / Confident} If you leave us here, everyone else will starve because you were too stubborn to refuse Father's appointment.
- {Angrily berating a cleaning robot / Angry} You call this a clean floor? Are your visual receptors malfunctioning? Can you not see the grime and dust?
- {Bitter / Angry} Time will prove that we were right, you'll see!
- {Angry, resentful} You know what happens when people get robots to do all their work? They get fat and lazy, that's what.
- {Angry / Angry} We have several people qualified to become the next director. Father's lost his mind.
- {A little ominous / Confident} Of course, sooner or later the others will be forced to take my side.
- {Confident with a sinister edge / SinisterSmile} I think you'll find that hunger can be very persuasive.
- {A stern rejection, but understanding / Stern} I'm sure you mean well, but you must see that it's an impossible task.
- {Angry / Angry} Let's see if anyone can afford to ignore me now!
- {A stern rejection / Stern} Without experienced and competent leadership, the Institute could be thrown into chaos. Decades of research could be jeopardized.
- {Bitter / Angry} Well I hope you're happy with yourself.
- {Confident} Then, things will return to normal and the work will resume.
- {Defiant, a warning / Angry} Future generations will remember this decision, Max. I'll make sure of it.
- {Strong disagreement / Neutral} Even with the best of intentions, the amount of damage you might cause could set us back years.
- {Bitter, resentful} There's a lot of hubris around here lately, and I don't care for it.
- {Resigned, final / Neutral} There's nothing more to say, then.
- {Perplexed, irritated / Irritated} Father can't be serious. How's an outsider supposed to know how things work here?
- And if I may add, the way you've handled this proves to me that you might just be up for the job of Administrator.
- {Stern, Angry / Stern} If you see anything even remotely suspicious, report it immediately. This absolutely cannot happen again. Got it?
- {Confident, moral certainty / Confident} I'm afraid you lose either way.
- {Certain / Neutral} The truth is simply this - you have no idea what it means to be the director of the Institute.
- {Unimpressed / Stern} You haven't done anything that we couldn't have done ourselves, given time.
- {Cornered, desperate... play it big, you're expecting to die / Afraid} I want only what's best for the Institute! It's all I've ever wanted!
- {Resigned / Stern} I'm sorry, but our minds are made up. Both Doctor Loken and I have resolved to stand our ground.
- {Annoyed, a little mocking} Father's heir apparent. He made it past your impenetrable defenses.
- Robots helping out. You make it sound so tame, so harmless. If that's all it were, I'd agree.
- {Resentful, bitter} The rest see me as little more than a glorified repair man, but I'm as much a scientist as any of them.
- {Cornered, desperate / Afraid} What do you plan to do now? Kill us and take the key? Go on, then! Prove how right we were!
- {Fearless / Question} Oh, so you mean to martyr us, then?
- {Confident, almost cocky... taunting / Confident} We have more than enough food to stay locked in here as long as is necessary.
- {Bitter / Angry} Here to gloat? Don't bother. We have no regrets.
- {Angrily berating a cleaning robot. / Angry} Don't make excuses. You're clearly defective, and I intend to report this.
- A few here and there, perhaps, but not on the scale that I'm talking about.
- Even the most fastidious researcher must sometimes take a leap of faith.
- {A difficult truth... it is what it is / Neutral} You can't hope to relate to us or understand the work we do here.
- Synths aren't human beings, but supposedly they're the future of humanity. I'll never understand it.
