	"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."

	"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

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: 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."

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.

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."
