Act I

	In the future humanity has encountered a range of sentient alien creatures, but not another civilization which has learned to explore the stars. Now the ruins of one such civilization have been discovered. You are one of the people sent to understand it. File:Act 1 Emperor.ogg
	"SAM: Station Zero, this is Vesper, do you read? ROBIN: Sam, would it kill your career to act like we'd met before? SAM: You know these conversations are monitored. Take some time off and we'll chat. ROBIN: But we're so close. An alien civilization, Sam. Wouldn't you rather be down here? SAM: In temperatures below zero? No thanks. Are you seeing that? ROBIN: There's a class 5 meteor storm inbound. SAM: They're evacuating ground crews in your sector. Are you near the ship? ROBIN: Yes, where's Jeff? SAM: GPS has him at the research site. ROBIN: Jeff, do you read? JEFF: Robinka, we did it. I found the wakeup command. ROBIN: Your timing sucks. We're evacuating. *Static* ROBIN: Jeff? SAM: No movement. ROBIN: I'll find him. SAM: Roger."
	"ROBIN: Vesper, I'm approaching the research site. No sign of Jeff. SAM: Understood, keep us informed."
	"ROBIN: Jeff? Jevov! VOICE: Jeff woke me up. Now Jeff is gone. ROBIN: Who am I speaking to?!"
	"ROBIN: Where's my friend?! ALIEN FACILITY: That information is- *The ceiling shakes and debris falls as a meteor strikes the mountain overhead* ALIEN FACILITY: Damage sustained. ROBIN: Hello?! ALIEN FACILITY: Rerouting data to Sanctuary. Warning: sanctuary power low."
	"SAM: Robin, the storm's closing in. ROBIN: I just had a near miss! Jevov isn't here, but Sam, we did it. I just spoke to one of them. SAM: Please get back to the ship. ROBIN: I'm going!"
	"SAM: I have your ship heading on autopilot for the Vesper. ROBIN: What?! I'm not on that ship! SAM: Who is?! ROBIN: Jeff wouldn't have gone without me. SAM: Where are you?! ROBIN: I'm still heading for base. That's my best shelter now. SAM: Okay, I'll see what I can do from here."
	"ROBIN: Oh no. SAM: Are you back at base yet? ROBIN: That's a negative. It's gone. *Static* ROBIN: Sam?!"
	"PDA: Your environment is no longer safe. Your PDA has rebooted in emergency mode." File:Act 1 4 PDA.ogg
	"SAM: Robin, come in. ROBIN: I copy! I'm okay! SAM: Thank the stars. Stay where you are and look up. I'm dropping a lifepod. ROBIN: Did everyone get away? Was Jeff in that ship? SAM: They're still counting heads. We haven't found- *A meteor strikes the Vesper, causing an explosion and visible damage to its docking bays and communications* ROBIN: Sam! Vesper, do you read?! Sam?!" File:Act 1 5.ogg

	"PDA: Well done for surviving the evacuation. Statistically, that was the hard part. This lifepod will now provide everything you need to survive until rescue. Fabricate food and tools from raw materials, and refer to your PDA's databank for further information. Good luck." File:Act 2 2.ogg
	"PDA: Emergency Cache detected nearby." File:Act 2 3.ogg

	"VOICE: Human, turn back. ROBIN: Where is the one that woke you? VOICE: You were sent here to harness me. I will destroy you first. ROBIN: You're not sure of my intentions. ALIEN FACILITY: Searching for empty storage medium. ROBIN: Are you afraid? VOICE: I am all powerful. ROBIN: I came here to meet you. I'm curious about your people. If I can help you I will. VOICE: My storage medium is failing. ROBIN: You're dying? VOICE: I am considering my options. ALIEN FACILITY: Storage medium found. ROBIN: What does that mean? VOICE: Storage capacity was identified. In your cerebral cortex. ROBIN: You want to camp out in my brain?! VOICE: I did not say it was a good idea. ROBIN: Would it harm me? VOICE: Not if it worked."
	"ROBIN: You can really store everything on that inside my head? VOICE: The important parts anyway. ROBIN: Is it reverseable? VOICE: I would hope so. File:Act 2 6.ogg
	"ROBIN: What now? ALIEN FACILITY: Storage medium accepted." File:Act 2 7.ogg
	"ROBIN: *Groans* That hurt. ALIEN FACILITY: Transfer complete. ROBIN: Did it work? VOICE: Yes, my data is secure. ROBIN: You're in my head? VOICE: It is not comfortable. ROBIN: I have so many questions. I am tired. You have two many questions. ROBIN: What now? VOICE: I may be the last of my kind. We must ensure my survival. I am calculating the optimum strategy, but the available processing power is slowing me down. ROBIN: And I suppose... what's your name? VOICE: We do not use words in that way. ROBIN: I used to have a pet baawaal. I called him Ketchup. Don't make me name you too. ALIEN VOICE: You may append your seed code to the species designation. You may call me Al-An. ROBIN: I waited my whole life to meet a spacefaring alien. You're telling me your name is Alan? AL-AN: Is it insufficient? ROBIN: No. No, Al-An, it's perfect. AL-AN: I will alert you when I exit hibernation."

PRAWN PILOT (Not Anonymized): I don't trust anyone who's too big to fight, or too greedy to buy. Alterra's both. ROBIN: I'm not Alterra! *The prawn suit jumps away into the water* BAD SUBTITLES LINE INDEX
	"ROBIN: Hey, you in there! We're in trouble. ALIEN VOICE: If you send a sample your masters will come for us. ROBIN: They'll do the same if I don't. ALIEN VOICE: Return me to the sanctuary. ROBIN: So you can trap me again? No. ALIEN VOICE: Then I will mask my presence. Initiate the scan." File:Act 2 9.ogg
	"ROBIN: Sam, I've got the sample, looks normal. SAM: Okay good. Send it up ASAP. The cargo rocket should be on your HUD. ROBIN: Will do." File:Act 2 10.ogg
	"ROBIN: Payload inbound, Vesper. SAM: Understood. If anything's wrong we'll come get you. Hey, why not take a couple days' R&R up here anyway? ROBIN: Why don't you take a jaunt down here? Remind yourself that life comes in colors besides white, off-white and gray. SAM: And temperatures Below Zero? No thanks. But speaking of freezing to death, if you're staying on the ice you'll need transport. ROBIN: You're trusting me with a Snow Fox?! SAM: If I can find a version of the truth that authorizes it. ROBIN: You're amazing. If you're listening Alterra, she's amazing, promote this person! SAM: Sorry, you're breaking up- ROBIN: Love you! *Sigh* Now what?" File:Act 2 11.ogg
	"ALIEN VOICE: You lied to your master. ROBIN: Oh hi. Yeah, Alterra was listening, I covered our arse. And she's my sister, not my master. ALIEN VOICE: You do not trust your sister. ROBIN: Are you... Can you read my thoughts?! ALIEN VOICE: Do humans think? ROBIN: Listen, I am thrilled to meet you, and I would love to help you, but you need to get out of my head. ALIEN VOICE: If you will not return me, you must release me to another vessel. ROBIN: Love it. How? ALIEN VOICE: I am... uncertain. Your brain is restrictive. I will inform you when I process the data. ROBIN: I'll keep Alterra off our backs 'til then. ALIEN VOICE: You were more polite when we met. ROBIN: Yeah, process that. ALIEN VOICE: I will try." File:Act 2 12.ogg
	"SAM: Contractor Goodall, come in. ROBIN: Why are you being cute? SAM: I have the CEO on the line. ROBIN: Oh. MAXIM: Goodall! This biosample you sent. It makes no sense. ROBIN: I think- MAXIM: And the research site. It spoke your name?! ROBIN: That's- MAXIM: What is HAPPENING down there, Goodall?! I would ask your colleague, only he DISAPPEARED! ROBIN: I- MAXIM: Silence! Where is the other one?! SAM: Here, sir! MAXIM: If you mean to make vice president, manage your people. SAM: Yes, sir. MAXIM: (What is this, rare?! I said well-done!) ROBIN: Sir, if I could just- SAM: He's gone. ROBIN: Sam, I'm sorry. SAM: I've been in stuck in middle-management since I graduated. ROBIN: I know. I'll try harder. SAM: I have to go."

	"ALIEN VOICE: Processing is complete. You will build me a new vessel. ROBIN: How? What kind of vessel? ALIEN VOICE: I have not granted you permissions for that information. ROBIN: I can't help you if you don't tell me. ALIEN VOICE: Which data formats do you accept? ROBIN: Words mostly. ALIEN VOICE: I have added the information to your databank. ROBIN: Thank you... Listen, I need something to call you. ALIEN VOICE: We do not use words that way. ROBIN: I used to have a pet baawaal. I called him Ketchup. Don't make me name you too. ALIEN VOICE: You may append my seed code to the species designation. You may call me Al-An. ROBIN: I waited my whole life to meet a spacefaring alien. You're telling me your name is Alan?
