Dialogue
Containment Cell
Beckon
- Is it safe yet?
- A friendly face!
- Could you help me, do you think?
Initial
- Thank the stars! All I wanted was a place to rest for a few hours without getting shot or minced.. but I accidentally locked myself in! Two PhDs but you'd never know it! I'd very much prefer not to rot in here, so if you can help me out I'd be extremely grateful.. and I can help! You see, I'm confident that I can get us through the Vacuum Chamber to the Surface Elevator, in fact, I'm sure of it - if you can just get this door open. Resetting the system in the Control Center should open the cells and reprogram the guns out there. And, if I'm right, it should give us access to the rest of the Containment Block, too. You just have to get there, to the Control Center... in one peice.
Return
- I can get us through the Vacuum Chamber, I'm sure of it. But you need to find a way to the control center and reset the Security System.
- There's no getting past those cannons out there until you reset the security system. Perhaps you can find a way across the chasm out there without plunging to your death in a dank abyss.
- The portal system's gone berserk, but I wonder - could that be just the shortcut we need? There's entries and exits grounding all over the place. Just.. don't do anything crazy.
- I know I'm asking a lot, but working together is our best chance. It's our only chance, don't you agree?
- I've been working in this facility for almost fifteen years. I honestly can't believe it's come to this.
Control Center
Beckon
- You did it!
- I thought I was going to be stuck there forever.
- I am in your debt.
Initial
- You reset the system AND turned the guns on those apes! Bravo! We may yet get out of here with our skins. Now we just need to get that odious gunk off the Vacuum Chamber door. But this isn't the first time we've had this problem! That goo was a curse until they opened a portal to the Mycofields in Anteverse 2 and the TR teams discovered a substance that could remove that awful stuff. The test chamber portal may even still be open, but with the state of things, who's to say? I suppose we just have to go and find out.
Idle
- I see why they call it the Control Center.
- You're really doing rather well.
Return
- I can get us to the Surface Elevator, if we can just get the Vacuum Chamber open. I'm certain of it. But someone needs to retrieve that substance from the Mycofields. Now, I'm not necessarily saying that's 'you', but you do seem rather well suited to this kind of thing.
- The portal chamber is on the top level of the atrium ... or it was last time I looked.
- With the guns are deactivated, we've got a clear run through Containment Block. But I hate to think about what else might be on the loose on there ...
- I'll just wait here, shall I?
Trivia
- In the introduction, Bruce mentions that the player is supposed to report to Dr. Cahn.
- Dr. Cahn, as met in-game, is in fact IS-0012, an entity pretending to be him. The real Dr. Cahn is deceased.
