- What do you say?
- Very well.
- Good enough for me.
- {Filling an awkward pause in the conversation... the player has stopped talking} You must feel a bit overwhelmed.
- {Resignation. You are taking on extra work.} No promises, but I'll try to fit it in where I can.
- I do miss Doctor Zimmer. If he were here, none of this nonsense would be happening.
- {Amused, making a small joke / Amused} Who knows, perhaps he became a ghoul and is out there somewhere even now.
- I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important. Please, there's no one else I can turn to.
- {Impressed, friendly / Friendly} I don't doubt it. Not even a bit.
- {Frustrated / Irritated} Another of our scavenger teams has come under attack by Feral Ghouls. There seems to be no end to the damn things.
- {Measuring, sizing up the player} Ah, it's you. You're finally with us.
- Unlikely. I don't let anyone else lay a finger on my terminals without my close supervision.
- {Asking a favor, hopeful / Concerned} We've had to recall the synth scavengers until the situation can be dealt with, hopefully by you.
- {Indignant / Surprised} What?! I'm not doing anything of the sort!
- {Irritated and disappointed} That's against SRB policy, unfortunately. I'm afraid you're the only option.
- {Excitement, a new discovery} Involuntary twitching and rapid eye movements while sleeping can only mean one thing, Max.
- {Sincerely contrite, a bit embarrassed} Most of which I designed myself. Not to make problems for you, though. I, err, will you be staying with us, then?
- {Hopeful.} We have a pretty good idea, yes. So you'll take the mission?
- {Hopeful, serious} Well I hope you do decide to stay. It would mean a great deal to Shaun.
- {Disappointed, defiant / Defiant} I thought things would be better with Alana in charge. Now I see she's just as blind.
- {Disappointed, a bit cold / Concerned} I was led to believe you were here to help us, but perhaps I misunderstood.
- {Concerned... a warning} I have no firsthand experience with these creatures, of course, but I've heard that they can be quite vicious.
- The only people who have any interest in the synth lab already have access to those computers.
- {Proud} I don't know if you've noticed, but I've increased synth responsiveness by .04 percent.
- SRB says one of their Coursers is suddenly speaking Mandarin instead of English.
- {Pleased, impressed / Impressed} Splendid! And you hardly seem the worse for wear. Remarkable.
- {Grateful, friendly} If you're willing to undertake another extermination, come and see me. I can always use the help.
- Only through close observation can I prove my hypothesis.
- {Surprised} Goodness no. When I retire for the day, I put any thought of work out of my mind.
- {Impressed / Impressed} Father said that you were a soldier. You must have been a good one.
- {Relief / Relieved} Now that Doctor Ayo's plot has been exposed, things are back to normal.
- {Annoyed, confused / Defiant} A frame job? What is that, some pre-war vernacular for blaming the innocent?
- I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we have to deal with them again.
- {Resignation. You are taking on extra work.} I'll see what I can do.
- You'd think Justin Ayo would have better ways to spend his time than to make ridiculous accusations.
- {Talking quietly to yourself. Indignant, annoyed.} Can't believe he would accuse me...
- {Measured, uncertain. The player was promoted and you aren't sure it was deserved.} So, you'll be our new director someday. That was... unexpected.
- {Surprised, uncertain, not what you expected} No? I... hmm. Well, I'm sure Shaun is... quite disappointed.
- Here, perhaps it will be of some use to you.
- I think that's quite enough for now. Goodbye.
- All I want is to be able to work in peace! Is that so much to ask?
- {Sad, sympathetic... emphasis on "you" / Sad} We'll all grieve for Father, but I know the loss must be especially difficult for you.
- {Annoyed, indignant / Irritated} Ayo and his Courser goons have already scoured my laboratory for evidence. Feel free to do the same, if you think you must.
- {Surprised but pleased / Friendly} There's no denying it. You've impressed us.
- {Depressed, broken, your have lost your son} I have failed completely as a father. There's no other way to put it.
- Sounds like you're on top of things, then.
- {Question} Have you changed your mind about that Feral Ghoul problem I mentioned?
- Very well, I'll leave it in your capable hands.
- Well, I won't trouble you further about it, then.
- You see that report from Facilities?
- He probably thinks my admiration for the synths might have caused me to have some delusion about setting them free.
- {Anger, disgust / Angry} All that time, Doctor Ayo was blaming me just to keep everyone's eyes off of him. The man was utterly without scruples.
- That's not freedom, it's a death sentence. I would never be so cruel.
- {Friendly conversation / Friendly} What did you do with your day, Liam?
- {Annoyed / Neutral} Then do what you must, but leave me out of it.
- {Depressed, broken, your have lost your son} How does one cope with the loss of a child? Where do you even start?
- {Disappointed, emphasis on "do"} I do hope you reconsider.
- {Polite, friendly} The synths are treating you well, I hope?
- I believe that our third-generation synths are sophisticated enough to form social bonds, even familial bonds.
- {relaxed / Grateful} Wonderful, Eve. I swear, I don't know what I'd do without you...
- {Defiant / Defiant} I see...Another of Doctor Ayo's manipulative power plays. Well he's wrong. The Gen-threes are functioning just as designed.
- {Awkward apology, but well-intentioned} Oh, forgive me, I realize... well, I understand that's somewhat personal. It would just mean a great deal to Shaun.
- {Sincerely contrite} They of course couldn't be told of your identity, and they have very specific protocols for protecting themselves and Institute interests...
- {Excitement, a new discovery} If it were just a limb twitching, perhaps, but her eyes were moving as well.
- {Question} Do you suspect that someone has logged into one of the laboratory terminals from my quarters?
- {Genuinely apologetic, abashed} I'd just like to apologize for any... trouble... our synths may have caused for you on your way here.
- It's quite simple, really. Find where the feral ghouls are making their home, and then wipe them out.
- {Confident} I find that keeping a balance between my work and my leisure time is vital for healthy living.
- {Anger / Suspicious} Yes... I suspect he did.
- {Defensive.} Now just a moment, I never said that.
- {Friendly} Good luck.
- {Icy / Defiant} Indeed we will.
- {Icy, annoyed / Irritated} How thorough of you.
- {Irritated} Not this nonsense again.
- {Pleading} Can you deal with those Ghouls?
- {Pleasant, cheerful} Another lovely day, isn't it?
- {Sad} I see.
- {Thinking} Let me guess, terminal three?
- {Amused} Oh, you know... prying open closed minds one at a time...
- I'm not sure of the exact number, but I can tell you the rate of escapes has accelerated greatly in recent months.
- {A bit flustered} A favor? I'm sorry, but I don't have anything to offer you.
- {Defiant, challenging} And if a synth has a soul, then it is a living person by every standard we can measure.
- {Rising anger / Suspicious} Wait a minute... did Justin Ayo send you here to look through these terminals?
- {Defensive, lecturing} Need I remind you, Doctor Loken, that in biochemical terms a human being is also a machine.
- {Excited, upbeat} Ah, good. Shaun is most pleased, I'm sure. He's been quite anxious to have you with us.
- {Mildly annoyed, haughty / Confident} Carry on with your investigation, if you wish. You'll find nothing to incriminate me, I promise you that.
- {Defiant, challenging} But we can't just ignore the question. If a synth can dream, why can't it have a soul?
- {Mistrusting / Suspicious} You're a cagey one, aren't you?
- {Proud} To answer your question, Eve has been an indispensable companion, both to Liam and myself.
- {Grateful, proud} We're quite fortunate to have the synths to aid us.
- {Talking quietly to yourself. Indignant, annoyed.} This is unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.
- {Measured, uncertain. The player was promoted and you aren't sure it was deserved.} I suppose congratulations are in order.
