One of your 'Time Pods' has appeared on sensors. Perhaps this one will shed truth on why you're really here.

In-Mission

• "Now show me what those Mechs of yours can do."
• "What was that? Just had a moment of deja vu... like when you first arrived."
• Emerging Vek
  • "Seismic readings are spiking. More Vek will be here soon.",
  • "Watch the ground, we're detecting increased subterranean Vek activity."
  • "The Vek have reached topside. They'll be more trouble now."
  • "The Vek impede their own.",
  • "That Vek has blocked the other. Stupid creatures.",
  • "If only I could block every emerging Vek with another."
• On Vek
  • "May the aquatic life feed on that Vek's corpse.",
  • "If you can't kill the Vek with your weapons, water will suffice."
  • "We'll send a team to dig the Vek out later to make sure it's dead.",
  • "Better to kill the Vek where our sensors can confirm it... but the fall should kill the Vek."
  • "The smoke disorients the Vek, makes them easy targets."
  • "Now that the Vek's frozen, don't let it break free."
  • "Vek kill their own. Such stupid creatures.",
  • "Mindless beasts... the Vek can't even stop themselves from killing each other."
• Building Hit
  • "Careless. That building should have been protected!",
  • "Your incompetency will result in hundreds of deaths!",
  • "We need you to defend those buildings!",
  • "It is unacceptable to let the Vek succeed. Stop them!",
  • "You're there to stop the Vek, not watch them destroy the city.",
  • "The Grid held. You got lucky this time.",
  • "The Power Grid's defense is unreliable at best. But it worked this time, that building held.",
  • "The Grid is bleeding power. Another hit, and we're done for.",
• Vek Killed
  • "Competent."
  • "Now let's see you do even better."
  • "Kill confirmed."
  • "Don't get complacent... there's thousands more."
  • "Pat yourself on the back after the mission's done."
• On Pilot Death
  • "Another life the Vek will answer for.",
  • "We will make the Vek pay for your pilot's sacrifice."
  • "No matter how many machines the Vek destroy, we will find a way to make more. We must.",
  • "That Mech is now useless.",
  • "The loss of that Mech is why mechanized pilots can never compare to human pilots."
• Mission Success
  • "Every Vek has been wiped out. Thorough - and impressive.",
  • "Excellent work. That is all."
  • "Hard to believe, but it appears you drove them off."
  • "While I would have preferred you kill all the Vek, the region is secure, and that is enough."
  • "You've proven yourself in the field, Pilot. But to prove yourself to me, you'll have to save R.S.T. first.",
  • "Perhaps I underestimated you, Officer Pilot. I think you could teach our cadets how best to fight the Vek."

Pod

• "Another Pod from 'your future' is incoming.",
• "One of your 'Time Pods' has appeared on sensors. Perhaps this one will shed truth on why you're really here."
• "That Pod's technically company property, so make sure it gets back intact.",
• "I want that Pod retrieved... and if you can't retrieve in during the battle, keep the Vek from it.",
• "If only those Pods would hit a Vek on the way down.",
• "Those Pods are falling from the skies... suspicious."
• "Careless."
• "Now that you've made recovering the Pod impossible, focus on the mission."

R.S.T. Missions

• Train
  • "Our maglev's crippled, but can be repaired. Keep it from taking any more damage."
  • "Our maglev's destroyed. A waste.",
  • "Careless."
• Terraform
  • "Stay out of the terraformer's way and let it do its work.",
  • "Use the terraformer to kill the Vek if you have to... it's an effective weapon."
  • "Report to my office about that terraformer as soon as you're back.",
  • "About that terraformer... make my office the first stop when you return to base.",
  • "Terraformer's offline. Careless."
• Cataclysm
  • "Watch the terrain... R.S.T. is continually shifting and breaking apart.",
  • "Knock the Vek into the chasms if you can - the fall will kill them."
• Storm
  • "Even storms hate the Vek...",
  • "That's why we harness the weather against the Vek. It's quite effective."
• Solar
  • "I'll see to it you apologize to the R.S.T. families personally.",
  • "We needed those farms!",
  • "Solar farm's been destroyed. Careless."
• Mountains
  • "You have your orders. Those mountains need to come down.",
  • "If those mountains remain standing, the Vek will use them as a staging ground for more attacks.",
  • "Direct your fire on the mountains! We can't let them be used as hives."
• Bombs
  • "This site holds two warheads designed by a temporal physicist, Dr. Renfield, utilizing your 'breach' technology. R.S.T. was deemed the safest place to test them."
  • "Excellent, both prototypes survived intact. I can order Renfield and his team to move on to stage two."
  • "While you lost one of Renfield's prototypes, at least the other is intact. But your carelessness could cost us the war."
  • "Your incompetence knows no bounds. Not one, but both of Renfield's prototypes destroyed... you may have cost us the war!"

Secret

• "Our sensors are picking up strange readings from that mountain that was destroyed. Investigate if you can."
• "Our sensors are picking up strange readings from beneath that layer of ice. Investigate if you can."
• "Sensors have picked up an unidentified craft descending on your location."

The Last Stand

• "Deploying remote power pylons. They'll keep you connected to the Grid."
• "Incoming seismic activity. Brace yourselves."
• "Sending down power pylons. Keep them operational, we don't have any more."
• "Deploying a Renfield Bomb. Defend it while it primes and it will destroy the hive."
  • "Deploying another bomb, but it will need more time to prime. Try to keep this one in one piece."
• "The Renfield bomb is ready. I recommend you leave now or you'll share a grave with the Vek."

Defeat

• "The Power Grid has collapsed! We've failed!",
• "You've failed to protect the Grid! R.S.T.... all the islands... we're finished!",
• "The Grid has collapsed! The Vek are swarming the island!"
• "The Vek are erupting across the islands... if you can get to safety, do so.",
• "If you are time travelers, then prove it. There is nothing more here.",
• "It is over. Escape if you can... I will die here, with my people."

Victory

• "My trust in you was not misplaced. You were tested, and you prevailed."
