- One moment.
- Hmm?
- {Worried} Who's there?
- Over here.
- {Question} Yes?
- Wait.
- Go ahead.
- Not now.
- Good to see you again.
- {Irritated} No. In fact, I'd just as soon we don't cross paths again.
- {Tired} What it means is that we don't have to worry about Lorenzo coming here to kill us.
- Enhanced strength. Unusual resistance to most kinds of physical damage.
- Maybe I'll finally travel to the Southwest. My father was always convinced that there was another alien city buried somewhere in the Mojave Desert.
- {Neutral} Right, right. It's probably not important anyway.
- {Confident} I don't share your pessimistic view. I still believe that human civilization has a chance to regain its lost glories.
- {Sad} So much has been closed off to us simply because people assumed they already knew the answers.
- {Depressed} I need to bury my father, and shut down this place. I won't be back here again.
- {Friendly} Pleased to meet you. Seems like a long time since we've had a visitor.
- I figured out how to access the artifact's telekinesis effect.
- {Neutral} It increases strength and resistance to all kinds of physical damage.
- {calling to Edward as you adjust one of your experiments which is in progress / Nervous} One moment! One moment, I just have to...
- {sadly - you were close to saving your father / Depressed} I hope you're right. I think this time I really was close to finding a way to cure him...
- {Depressed} I didn't see any alternative. I've devoted all my efforts since then to try to figure out how to remove the artifact.
- {Thinking} One more thing. I've done so much research on the artifact... I may be able to do something with it.
- {Angry} Any obligation I had to you became void when you let Lorenzo get free to murder my family.
- {Happy} And I am very pleased to meet you! Edward finds it tiresome, but I always like to know personally everyone who works for me.
- {Apologetic} I'm sorry, Edward. I just get carried away sometimes.
- {Relieved} Ah, good. Finally! This will help settle mother down.
- It uses standard energy cells for power - the artifact's internal power supply was destroyed.
- {Stern} Good. The old utility elevator is still working.
- {Irritated} Then just do what you're being paid to do.
- {Happy} Well, how about this! Fancy meeting you out here.
- {Concerned} This place has really fallen to pieces over the years.
- {Confident} Now just set the last generator and I can end this. I think there's still time.
- {exasperated / Irritated} Mother. Will you let it go, please!
- {Somber} Yet we know next to nothing about them. In fact, most people don't know they even existed.
- {Disbelief} You can't seriously doubt me, Edward? After all I've done for you?
- {Somber} In the end, I had no choice but to confine him - for his own safety as well as ours.
- {Disgust} You see now that I was right about Lorenzo. Too late, of course.
- {Nervous} My father is... confined in Parsons. For his own safety and everyone else's.
- {Puzzled} And yet, everything about it is... strange.
- {Irritated} I don't have time to take any breaks. The readings from Parsons are... well, I just don't know that the containment will hold forever.
- {Worried} Edward! Switch to single sideband modulating! Can you hear me?
- {jovially / Friendly} Please, accept my apologies for Edward's behavior. He's just looking out for me, but sometimes he can be overzealous.
- {Irritated} There's no time for that right now. I'll explain on the way.
- {Stern} I'm sorry if you feel that I've been keeping you in the dark.
- {Worried} Two more to go. Hurry. We're running out of time.
- {Tired} No, without Parsons to run, I don't think I'll need such an extensive staff.
- {Worried} No question now that these are the ones that stole the serum.
- {Disgust} No, no. That's all popular hysteria. I doubt any of it has any basis in fact.
- {exasperated / Irritated} If she wanted us to know where she went, she would have told someone.
- Yes. I think you were, too. I'd say... mid 21st century?
- {Sarcastic} I can see why you like him, Edward. He has such a way with words.
- {Stern} No. I don't think so. Now please leave me to mourn my father in peace.
- {Awed} Eventually, he found was he was looking for - a lost city, buried beneath the sands of the Empty Quarter of the Arabian desert.
- {Afraid} There's still one chance... I just need a moment to enter the failsafe codes...
- {Awed} Ancient powers that modern science, even at its pinnacle, could barely begin to comprehend.
- That's true. It's a terrible shame about Edward though... he'd been with me for a long time.
- {Friendly} Actually it was my father's theory. Now proven beyond doubt, although only to me, unfortunately.
- {Afraid} Do not listen to him! This is what he does. Surely you can see that!
- {Apologetic} I'm sorry if you feel that I've been keeping you in the dark. The serum that the raiders stole confers a host of benefits.
- {Tired} You did come back to help. I'll give you that much.
- {Neutral} Yes. Especially in the undiluted form that the raiders stole.
- {Worried} He also commands a kind of local telekinesis, which appears to be projected by the artifact itself.
- {whispering / Conspiratorial} Wait. Listen... Get ready.
- {Happy} But let's not let a momentary misunderstanding ruin the moment. It's been so long since we've had a visitor!
- {Defiant} Impossible? Not much that I would call impossible these days.
- {Somber} So I've had to confine my studies to what he brought back from his first expedition.
- He gained various seemingly paranormal powers... as well as becoming increasingly irrational and violent.
- {Worried} We'd better hurry if we want to stop them. They seem determined to reach Lorenzo for some reason.
- {Somber} There would be something left, but perhaps less than you think.
- {Disbelief} I can't believe you thought I was lying to you, Edward. After all I've done for you.
- {exasperated / Irritated} Mother, Edward has better things to do than sending someone out to find Emogene. Again.
- {Depressed} What's done is done, though. No use crying over spilt milk.
- {Concerned} But I assure you that if I had the chance, I would gladly give it all up to have my father back, even for a short time.
- {Nervous} It is an unusual situation, but... well, it's a private family matter that's no concern of yours.
- {Defiant} That was merely a serendipitous benefit of my research - which has allowed me to continue working on finding a cure.
- {Worried} They've definitely reached the basement, although I don't understand how they knew how to get past... it doesn't matter now.
- {Irritated} Edward will give you the details. But as far as I'm concerned, there's no rush.
- {Stern} I wouldn't call it lucky. He is my father, after all. I've spent years searching for some way to remove the artifact without killing him.
- {Depressed} But so far, all my attempts have failed. It's fused too tightly with his nervous system.
- {Disgust} Bah. There's no signal at all. I've lost him.
- {Somber} His crimes, back when he was free... It was only because of my family's influence that he ended up here rather than on Death Row.
- {Friendly} Think of Atlantis - the myth of an advanced civilization destroyed by a cataclysm is shared by many widely separated ancient cultures.
- I eventually isolated the anomalous compounds, which led to the serum treatment we still use.
- {Defiant} So far... nothing but dead ends. But I haven't given up. And I never will.
- {Concerned} The guards at Parsons called in that they were under attack. Edward went to help.
- {Stern} Now, we really need to focus on the current emergency.
- {Irritated} I wonder if it's time to just toss it out and find a new one.
- {Friendly} I need a large quantity of fiber optics. I'd be glad to purchase any that you have.
- {Angry} It's a little late for that epiphany. I'm sure Lorenzo's on his way to kill us all right now.
