Wup, wup? Heeeey, it's you, kid! You finally got here![ST:wait ] |

|
qev070202_MSG0002 |
Now I can finally say good-bye to roughing it like[ST:n ]some kind of Neanderthal.[ST:wait ] |

qev070202_MSG0003 |
I've been living a novel existence since the day I took[ST:n ]off in my Miramobile, let me tell you...[ST:wait ] |

qev070202_JNK0010 |
Query |
| 5 |
|
qev070202_SEL0011 |
Ask what Professor B is doing here. |
| 6 |
|
qev070202_JNK0020 |
Praise |
| 7 |
|
qev070202_SEL0021 |
Express admiration for Professor B[ST:n ]surviving in the wild for so long. |
| 8 |
|
qev070202_MSG0004 |
Okay, so I DID cross the &a3*«%z threshold.[ST:n ]That's like 99 percent of time travel.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev070202_MSG0005 |
But after that, I got thrown back into this time period.[ST:n ]Almost as if something was blocking my way.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev070202_MSG0006 |
It's been no picnic, let me tell you—I got thrown here[ST:n ]when my time travel attempt failed.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev070202_MSG0007 |
I've been living off primordial creature meat ever since.[ST:n ]...Blech.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev070202_MSG0008 |
My Miramobile was intact, at least, so I haven't had[ST:n ]to worry about being rained on. Still, it's been quite[ST:n ]a rustic experience.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev070202_MSG0009 |
I'm sure you have many more questions where that one[ST:n ]came from, kid, but would you mind dealing with these[ST:n ]damn idiots that are surrounding us first?[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev070202_MSG0010 |
...What, you didn't notice them, kid? Tsk tsk![ST:n ]It seems pretty clear they followed you here.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev070202_MSG0011 |
They're probably Gadd's goons.[ST:n ]You remember? That human who attacked you?[ST:n ]He seemed awfully eager to pay me a visit.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev070202_MSG0012 |
I'll be reclining in my Miramobile in the meantime.[ST:n ]Let me know when you've mopped them up,[ST:n ]would you? Thanks, kid.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev070202_JNK0030 |
Accept |
| 18 |
|
qev070202_SEL0031 |
Give a confident nod in response. |
| 19 |
|
qev070202_JNK0040 |
Inquire |
| 20 |
|
qev070202_SEL0041 |
Ask why Professor B doesn't help you fight. |
| 21 |
|
qev070202_MSG0013 |
Professional as ever! I'm sure you've got it well in hand.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev070202_MSG0014 |
Sadly, I haven't been able to recharge my trusty[ST:n ]$@?ºº# blaster after all the primordial creature[ST:n ]hunting I've been doing. Sucker's out of juice.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev070202_MSG0015 |
But come on—this is child's play for a pro like you![ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev070202_MSG0016 |
Just let me know when you're ready to go, kid.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev070202_MSG0017 |
All set?[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev070202_MSG0018 |
Not that the likes of Gadd will give you any trouble,[ST:n ]am I right?[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev070202_JNK0050 |
Agree |
| 28 |
|
qev070202_SEL0051 |
Assure Professor B that you've got this. |
| 29 |
|
qev070202_JNK0060 |
Wait |
| 30 |
|
qev070202_SEL0061 |
Tell Professor B that you still need a minute. |
| 31 |
|
qev070202_MSG0019 |
Happy hunting, then![ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev070202_MSG0020 |
...Hey, Gadd! How long are you planning to play[ST:n ]hide-and-seek, precisely?[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev070202_MSG0021 |
You won't get your grubby mitts on my tech by hiding,[ST:n ]you know![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev070202_MSG0022 |
...Tch. You up and disappeared on me, and now I find[ST:n ]you've been camping out here this whole time?[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev070202_MSG0023 |
Well, vacation's over, Professor. Now all that's left is[ST:n ]figuring out what happens next.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev070202_MSG0024 |
Tell you what—why don't we let your little guard dog[ST:n ]there decide how this goes down?[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev070202_MSG0025 |
Will it be: A) You hand the professor over quietly,[ST:n ]nobody gets hurt, and we live happily ever after?[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev070202_MSG0026 |
Or B) You resist like an idiot, I kill you anyway,[ST:n ]then I scrape out the good professor's brains and take[ST:n ]what's inside?[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev070202_MSG0027 |
Choice is all yours, pal. I got no complaints,[ST:n ]so long as I get what I'm after.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev070202_JNK0070 |
Surrender |
| 41 |
|
qev070202_SEL0071 |
Tell Gadd that you give up, so long as[ST:n ]he promises not to hurt Professor B. |
| 42 |
|
qev070202_JNK0080 |
Fight |
| 43 |
|
qev070202_SEL0081 |
Tell Gadd that you're going to[ST:n ]finish this once and for all. |
| 44 |
|
qev070202_MSG0028 |
Of all the... How a«p%*8o can you be?![ST:n ]Nobody's THAT gullible![ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev070202_MSG0029 |
You really think they're the type to keep a promise?[ST:n ]Just get fighting already, kid![ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev070202_MSG0030 |
And here we were having such a nice conversation.[ST:n ]Looks like I'll have to murder you after all.[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev070202_MSG0031 |
If I had a credit for every time I hear that one...[ST:n ]Tragic how none of 'em realize till it's too late.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev070202_MSG0032 |
You can see it in their eyes as they're lying there[ST:n ]bleeding out: \"I shoulda...gone with...choice A...\"[ST:n ]Ah, well. What're you gonna do?[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev070202_MSG0033 |
Looks like they're waiting for you to make the first[ST:n ]move, kid.[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev070202_MSG0034 |
Make sure you're well prepared, then go put those[ST:n ]punks down.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev070202_MSG0035 |
...Damn idiots. I can only imagine the scientist that[ST:n ]would use that lot as hired goons.[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev070202_MSG0036 |
Even if they did get their hands on my knowledge,[ST:n ]it'd take them centuries to make any sense of it![ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev070202_MSG0037 |
They can't see an inch past their own blasted noses.[ST:n ]Science is all about keeping your eyes a hundred paces[ST:n ]down the road as you work![ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev070202_MSG0038 |
The moment they start spending time stealing others'[ST:n ]work instead of doing their own, it's a lost cause. Bah.[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev070202_JNK0090 |
Agree |
| 56 |
|
qev070202_SEL0091 |
Concur with Professor B's assessment. |
| 57 |
|
qev070202_JNK0100 |
Disagree |
| 58 |
|
qev070202_SEL0101 |
Argue with Professor B. |
| 59 |
|
qev070202_MSG0039 |
Although...there ARE those in this era working to[ST:n ]author their own new chapter in history.[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev070202_MSG0040 |
Veven's one of them, despite all his inexperience.[ST:n ]The future I come from was built in part by such folks.[ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
qev070202_MSG0041 |
So I've got to do what I can as well. And to do that,[ST:n ]I need to get back to NLA.[ST:wait ] |
| 62 |
|
qev070202_MSG0042 |
Wup, wup! You've got sympathy even for their kind,[ST:n ]kid?[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev070202_MSG0043 |
Well, I'll grant you that peer emulation can be a valid[ST:n ]form of scientific inquiry.[ST:wait ] |
| 64 |
|
qev070202_MSG0044 |
But if you let mimicry become a habit without creating[ST:n ]anything original from it, you're only asking to get[ST:n ]culled at some point.[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev070202_MSG0045 |
But that's enough talk out of me. It's time we got the[ST:n ]Miramobile back to New LA so I can practice what I[ST:n ]preach.[ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev070202_MSG0046 |
Er, but could you possibly gather some blast chard[ST:n ]from around here in Oblivia, kid? We need it to fuel[ST:n ]the Miramobile.[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev070202_MSG0047 |
Hmm, the n%%*x*« appeared properly,[ST:n ]and the a••*%$k completely disappeared as well...[ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev070202_MSG0048 |
At that point, the time leap should basically have[ST:n ]been guaranteed. Sure enough, this planet must be[ST:n ]#*3::u%$j5±...[ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev070202_MSG0049 |
Hmmm...[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev070202_MSG0050 |
Think you can get me that blast chard, kid? I need it to[ST:n ]fuel the Miramobile and get her back to the city.[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev070202_MSG0051 |
Can't get on with my work until I've got a proper lab[ST:n ]to work in.[ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev070202_MSG0052 |
Get your hands on that fuel? Once the tank's full,[ST:n ]I can have my Miramobile back to New LA in no time.[ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev070202_MSG0053 |
That should be more than enough to get this sucker[ST:n ]back. Next stop, New LA![ST:wait ] |
| 74 |
|
qev070202_MSG0054 |
See you back at the lab, kid! ...Oh, and I've got[ST:n ]another big project I'll need your help with, all right?[ST:wait ] |
| 75 |
|
qev070202_JNK0110 |
Accept |
| 76 |
|
qev070202_SEL0111 |
Smile and tell Professor B to drive safe. |
| 77 |
|
qev070202_JNK0120 |
Inquire |
| 78 |
|
qev070202_SEL0121 |
Ask what this important new research is. |
| 79 |
|
qev070202_MSG0055 |
Ha! Good old [ST:playername ],[ST:n ]as thoughtful as ever.[ST:wait ] |
| 80 |
|
qev070202_MSG0056 |
But I'm folding space-time here, kid.[ST:n ]Traffic jams and fender-benders are for commoners.[ST:wait ] |
| 81 |
|
qev070202_MSG0057 |
I'll be back in New LA on a faster-than-light c&»‹*![ST:wait ] |
| 82 |
|
qev070202_MSG0058 |
Curious as ever, I see. You actually remind me of me.[ST:n ]Have I ever mentioned that, kid?[ST:wait ] |
| 83 |
|
qev070202_MSG0059 |
Well, I'm going to get to the bottom of the mystery[ST:n ]surrounding this planet. This isn't just about getting[ST:n ]back to my time anymore—it is a test![ST:wait ] |
| 84 |
|
qev070202_MSG0060 |
The gods of science have thrown down the gauntlet,[ST:n ]and I'll meet their challenge no matter what.[ST:wait ] |
| 85 |
|
qev070202_MSG0061 |
All right, here we go. Miramobiiiiiiiileeeee...LAUNCH![ST:wait ] |
