Searching for empty storage medium.
ROBIN: Hello?!"

"VOICE: Human, turn back.
ROBIN: Why?
VOICE: You were sent here to harness me.
I will destroy you first.
ROBIN: You're not sure of my intentions.
Are you afraid?
VOICE: I am all powerful.
ROBIN: I came here because I'm curious about your people.
It sounds like your in trouble.
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 person.
ROBIN: Where?
On my PDA?
Hello?!"
|
|
"ROBIN: This is where you're stored isn't it?
VOICE: Presently, yes
ROBIN: A digital backup to save you in case of disaster.
VOICE: It has worked until now.
My data can be downloaded from the terminal.
ROBIN: Is that what you'd like?
VOICE: I have hours to live.
I may not like it now, but I will appreciate it later.
ROBIN: I'm taking that as a yes."

"ROBIN: I hope this works.
ALIEN FACILITY: Storage medium accepted.
ROBIN: Wait, what?!
ALIEN FACILITY: Commencing data transfer.
ROBIN: *gasp*"

"ROBIN: *groans*
What happened?
ALIEN FACILITY: Transfer complete.
VOICE: Download capacity was identified in your cerebral cortex.
ROBIN: You're in my head?!
VOICE: I am also surprised.
ROBIN: Is it reversible?!.
VOICE: I hope so.
ALIEN FACILITY: Sanctuary power failed.
*lights go out*
VOICE: But not from here.
ROBIN: Dammit.
VOICE: I will find a way.
With the processing power available it may take some time.
I will alert you when I exit hibernation.
ROBIN: This is exactly why we have protocols."
|

"VOICE: Do not be alarmed.
I am still processing our situation.
Some memory data was lost in the download process.
ROBIN: Yours or mine?!
VOICE: I cannot recall.
I will hibernate-
ROBIN: Wait, what's your name?
VOICE: We do not use words that way.
ROBIN: I had a pet baawaal once. I called him Ketchup.
Don't make me name you too.
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.
Your 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 have more information."

"*prawn suit collides with player*
PRAWN PILOT: Are you sure I'm the kind of gal you want to be following?
*prawn suit regains stability and stands over the player looking down and says:*
ROBIN: Who are you?! Where did you get that tablet?
*prawn suit leans in threateningly*
*prawn suit tint is deactivated, revealing the human inside the cockpit*
PRAWN PILOT: Then your position is doubly precarious. You're lucky I have my hands full.
ROBIN: Wait!"

"ROBIN: Vesper, this is Sector Zero, do you read?
Sam are you up there?
I haven't seen any ships. I'm starting to get-
SAM: Robin! I read you!
Are you okay?!
ROBIN: I got setup in the lifepod, I'm fine.
What happened up there?
SAM: A meteor took out comms and both launch bays.
It's chaos, but nothing can be stitched back on.
ROBIN: What about Jeff?
SAM: The ship went off course, west towards the Glacial Basin.
ROBIN: He's still down here.
SAM: Finding him is not the priority.
Our ships are all out of action, and we got people stranded in other sectors.
I need you to stay safe until we can send rescue team.
ROBIN: I've done this before, I'll be okay.
SAM: I know you will. Rob I have to go.
I'll call back as soon as I can.
ROBIN: Roger that.
I feel better knowing you're still out there, even if you are out of reach.

"SAM: Robin, we're working on sending you a supply drop.
Are you okay?
ROBIN: I've got things under control.
SAM: Good. We need to debrief.
Before the storm you said you spoke to one of them. One of the Architects.
ROBIN: Briefly.
A meteor struck the facility somewhere, it shut down.
SAM: Why aren't you more disappointed?
ROBIN: It's further than we ever got.
SAM: You think It's still alive.
Robin, I know I can't stop you chasing aliens, but keep me informed if anything else happens.
ROBIN: Don't worry, I'll follow the protocols.
SAM: I have to write this up.
Stay safe.

"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."
