1 xs11090100_MSG0001 This is wrong.[ST:n ]Humanity should have died out along with the Earth.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
2 xs11090100_MSG0002 We should have let nature take its course[ST:n ]and accepted our fate.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
3 xs11090100_MSG0003 You don't believe that, Lao.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
4 xs11090100_MSG0004 If you did, you would have never volunteered[ST:n ]to work on Project Exodus in the first place.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
5 xs11090100_MSG0005 Or on the White Whale's crew![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
6 xs11090100_MSG0006 I was a believer, once...[ST:n ]I honestly thought we could pull it off.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
7 xs11090100_MSG0007 I knew we couldn't save everyone, of course.[ST:n ]Billions of people, in that timeframe?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
8 xs11090100_MSG0008 But a cross-section of races? Religions? Yes.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
9 xs11090100_MSG0009 It felt like all the usual politics disappeared.[ST:n ]People from different countries HAD to come together.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
10 xs11090100_MSG0010 There was no other choice—this was survival![ST:n ]So I signed up.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
11 xs11090100_MSG0011 So what happened?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
12 xs11090100_MSG0012 It was all LIES![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
13 xs11090100_MSG0013 If you weren't rich, or connected, or part of[ST:n ]the first world elite, you got left to die on Earth.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
14 xs11090100_MSG0014 What?![ST:wait ]
15 xs11090100_MSG0015 Oh yes.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
16 xs11090100_MSG0016 The only reason people like you and me[ST:n ]got on board the White Whale[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
17 xs11090100_MSG0017 is because they could use our skills.[ST:n ]Exploit our talents.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
18 xs11090100_MSG0018 But everyone else? All those countless souls[ST:n ]boxed up in your precious Lifehold Core?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
19 xs11090100_MSG0019 The same elitist bastards that decided[ST:n ]they're the only part of humanity worth saving.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
20 xs11090100_MSG0020 No...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
21 xs11090100_MSG0021 If you don't believe me...ask Elma.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
22 xs11090100_MSG0022 I can't say I agreed with how all the passengers were chosen...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
23 xs11090100_MSG0023 but I hardly see how it justifies this madness.[ST:n ]We were acting to save the human race.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
24 xs11090100_MSG0024 I never understood why humans separate themselves off...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
25 xs11090100_MSG0025 By race, by class, religion, country, age...[ST:n ]As if it matters in the end![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
26 xs11090100_MSG0026 On a genetic level, the differences are insignificant.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
27 xs11090100_MSG0027 No, not insignificant. Not to humans.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
28 xs11090100_MSG0028 But really, how could you understand, Elma?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
29 xs11090100_MSG0029
30 xs11090100_MSG0030 Sorry, but I won't let those bastards[ST:n ]purge what made us human.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
31 xs11090100_MSG0031 I'll kill us all first.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
32 xs11090100_MSG0032 Lao, look—I admit I had no idea about any of this...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
33 xs11090100_MSG0033 but killing what's left of us isn't going to solve anything.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
34 xs11090100_MSG0033_2 It's you playing god instead of them![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
35 xs11090100_MSG0034 How is that fair?![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
36 xs11090100_MSG0035 Don't talk to me about \"fair\"...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
37 xs11090100_MSG0035_2 Is it fair what happened to my wife and little girl?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
38 xs11090100_MSG0036
39 xs11090100_MSG0037 That's why I volunteered...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
40 xs11090100_MSG0038 I didn't sign up for Project Exodus because[ST:n ]I wanted to save the human race... No...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
41 xs11090100_MSG0039 I signed up for Project Exodus...[ST:n ]because I wanted to save my family...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
42 xs11090100_MSG0040 We knew there were no guarantees[ST:n ]we'd be chosen, of course...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
43 xs11090100_MSG0040_2 We promised each other we'd accept our fate, either way.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
44 xs11090100_MSG0041 But at least, this way, we had a chance.[ST:n ]...We had something to hope for.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
45 xs11090100_MSG0042 Hope was all we asked for.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
46 xs11090100_MSG0043 But there was never any hope. Not really.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
47 xs11090100_MSG0044 The decision was already made...[ST:n ]We just didn't know it yet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
48 xs11090100_MSG0044_02 These scum DESERVE TO DIE, Elma![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
49 xs11090100_MSG0045 No one deserves to die, Lao.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
50 xs11090100_MSG0046 Tell that to Charmaine! And Chenshi![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
51 xs11090100_MSG0047 Tell it to everyone we left back on Earth![ST:n ]...And you KNEW.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
52 xs11090100_MSG0048 You knew they’d sealed the fate of all those people...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
53 xs11090100_MSG0049 and then you lied—you LIED about why no one[ST:n ]could know who made it onto the ship until after launch![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
54 xs11090100_MSG0050 The decision came down to saving[ST:n ]a subset of humanity or total extinction.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
55 xs11090100_MSG0051 I stand by that decision.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
56 xs11090100_MSG0052 And I'd do it again.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
57 xs11090100_MSG0052_02
58 xs11090100_MSG0053 Enough talk.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
59 xs11090100_MSG0053_2 I don't expect you to agree with[ST:n ]every decision that was made in the past.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
60 xs11090100_MSG0054 But I won't let you destroy humanity's future.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
61 xs11090100_MSG0062 Fair enough.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
62 xs11090100_MSG0062_2 I don't expect you to agree either, but that won't stop me![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
