"Elevator: locked -- Hoverpad exit: closed". Hoverpad exit!
"Unlock containment chamber?". I think...yes.
"Elevator: locked -- Hoverpad exit: closed".
"Unlock containment chamber?".
"Elevator: locked -- Hoverpad exit: open".
"Containment chamber open".
It's a monster!
It's a huge tank filled with blue liquid, and...something else... Something large else.
There's something large and organic in there.
That door's closed.
From McAllen's little demonstration, I'd say that was some kind of fancy safe, or containment chamber.
It's a fancy safe, or containment chamber.
No time for that, I'm being chased!
I can't leave without retrieving the disc and the jewels.
The elevator is locked!
Ah!
Get off me!
No!
Ow!
What do you think?
What is it?
This is the end result of the centuries of work and research the Vanguard have done. A breeding ground for Shifters, such as yourself. Warrior Shifters.
So tell me...what do you think?
I'm impressed.
You are one sick man.
Does it matter what I think?
So you should be. There's technology here that could...well, it has changed the world, in ways you could never understand.
Because I create my own destiny instead of sitting around waiting for it? Because I look to the future? What's so sick about that?
Because you think you have a right to do this. But you don't consider the harm you do to the Balance, and to the people both here and in Arcadia.
They really have gotten to you, haven't they? Too bad. You might have made a fine addition to our organization.
No. I'm just trying to be polite.
Now, give me the disc and the jewels. And don't try anything this time. I might have to hurt you myself.
I will ask this one last time, because I am a patient man. Where is the gateway to the Guardian's Realm?
And I'll say this one final time, because I'm a patient woman...
I told you I don't know.
It's in Reading, England.
I'm sorry? What?
Right by the train-station, there's a quaint little coffee shop. In the ladies' room of that coffee shop, you'll find the gateway you're looking for.
...go screw yourself.
And I'm sure you do, but I won't waste my time trying to get that information from you. I'll let someone else do that job for me. Good day. When we meet again...
...you'll be a lot more...cooperative, I'm sure.
That's all I needed to know. I'll leave you...alone here, for a while. When I come back, I'm sure you'll be a lot more cooperative.
I see. Humor. What an unfortunate way to end this seance, I have to say. Very well, I'm leaving now, and when I come back I'm certain you'll be a lot more...cooperative.
