#(HELLO_BEFORE_AMBUSH_1) syreen-000.ogg
|
|
Attention unidentified space vessel!
|
|
Be warned! This slave world and its inhabitants belong to the Ur-Quan.
|
|
I am Starbase Commander Talana of the slave planet Gaia.
|
|
Your ship is not responding to standard Hierarchy identification sequences.
|
|
You are therefore classed as Independent and... WHAT?!
|
|
Is my monitor display correct?!
|
|
Is that a human commanding that vessel?
|
|
Who are you?
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_BEFORE_AMBUSH_2) syreen-001.ogg
|
|
Hello again, pleasant Human.
|
|
It warms me to greet you again.
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_BEFORE_AMBUSH_3) syreen-002.ogg
|
|
Welcome back, Earthling.
|
|
What do you wish of us?
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_BEFORE_AMBUSH_4) syreen-003.ogg
|
|
Yes, Captain?
|
|
|
|
#(we_are_vice_squad)
|

We're the Ethics Police. Justify that costume... Immediately!
|
|
|
|
#(OK_VICE) syreen-004.ogg
|
|
Huh? What ARE you talking about?
|
|
This is the uniform of a Syreen Commander.
|
|
The climate aboard this starbase is maintained at a constant 22 degrees C.
|
|
What are we supposed to wear in here... parkas?
|
|
|
|
#(we_are_the_one_for_you_baby)

I am the right one for you, baby!
|
|
|
|
#(MAYBE_CAPTAIN) syreen-005.ogg
|
|
Ah, yes... I had almost forgotten the sophistication of human social graces.
|
|
Manners were never the Earthlings' strong point, were they?
|
|
Your species' undeniable appeal can be found... elsewhere.

#(HOW_CAN_YOU_BE_HERE) syreen-008.ogg
|
|
But you haven't answered my question fully.
|
|
Why are you here? Where are you from?
|
|
Has the slave shield been lifted from Earth?
|
|
Are the Ur-Quan finally defeated?
|
|
Simply put, Captain...what do you want from us?
|
|
|
|
#(we_here_to_help)
|
|
We have come here to free you from slavery to the Ur-Quan!
|
|
|
|
#(NO_NEED_HELP) syreen-009.ogg
|
|
Look friend, I appreciate your offer, but we don't want your help.
|
|
Why? I'll tell you why
|
|
because we're not going to do anything to antagonize the Ur-Quan. That's why.
|
|
We may not like slavery, but it's a damn sight better than our alternatives.
|
|
Below us we have a beautiful world... maybe it's not Syra, but at least it's a home.
|
|
That's a lot more than we ever had before the War... before the Ur-Quan became our masters.
|
|
|
|
#(we_need_help)
|
|
To be honest, we need your help to destroy the Ur-Quan.
|
|
|
|
#(CANT_GIVE_HELP) syreen-010.ogg
|
|
Look Captain... I like you... even though you're an obnoxious human... I like you.
|
|
In another time, we might have become good friends... perhaps more
|
|
but that's a fantasy, and my job is dealing with reality.
|
|
We're not going to do anything to jeopardize what we've got here.
|
|
We've come too far... lost too much, to ever risk losing Gaia, our new home.
|
|
Don't get all judgmental on me, Captain... you don't know what we've been through.
|
|
|
|
#(i_need_you)
|
|
Hey, baby... what I need is you!
|
|
|
|
#(OK_NEED) syreen-011.ogg
|
|
Look. Human. Get this through your head.
|
|
Under other circumstances, I might be interested in your antics, you're kind of cute
|
|
but we've got a serious situation here and we don't have time to fool around.
|
|
Our lives are at stake, and so are yours. If the Ur-Quan discover that you have been here
|
|
I don't know what they will do to us... much less you!
|
|
Now get serious... please.
|
|
|
|
#(i_need_touch_o_vision)

What I need right now, is a Touch-o-Vision.

#(know_about_deep_children)
|
|
Talana, have you ever heard of the `Deep Children?'
|
|
|
|
#(WHAT_ABOUT_DEEP_CHILDREN) syreen-013.ogg
|
|
Yes, I think so. Aren't they part of the Mycon religion somehow?
|
|
We have recordings of Mycon HyperWave transmissions from the War... pretty weird stuff.
|
|
The Mycons just kind of.. rambled, never making much sense.
|
|
They talked a lot about `Deep Children', and `Spears of Light',
|
|
but we couldn't ever understand what they were talking about.
|
|
|
|
#(mycons_involved)
|
|
What if I told you that Mycon Deep Children shatter planet crusts... like your Syra?
|
|
|
|
#(WHAT_PROOF) syreen-014.ogg
|
|
What?! What did you say?!
|
|
Human, you had better not be joking. Syra is not a subject for Earth humor.
|
|
Now what do you mean, shatter planet crusts? How?
|
|
That IS what happened to Syra, yes, but we presumed it was a natural cataclysm... a meteor.
|
|
Do you have proof that it was something else... these Deep Children?
|
|
|
|
#(have_no_proof)
|
|
I don't have proof YET, but I am certain the Mycons destroyed your world.
|
|
|
|
#(NEED_PROOF) syreen-015.ogg
|
|
Captain, if what you say is true, it would turn my world upside down.
|
|
You have no sorrow to match what each of us Syreen feels every day of our lives
|
|
when we remember what we have lost... Syra... our Eden.
|
|
The very idea that the Mycons, or any alien race, may have been responsible for Syra's destruction
|
|
fills me with BURNING RAGE!
|
|
If it were true, none of us here would rest until we had avenged ourselves on the perpetrators.
|
|
We would find some way to leave this starbase, locate our starships, and hunt down the evil monsters!
|
|
Captain, if you ever gather proof of what you say, you MUST inform us immediately.
|
|
But until then... do not mention the subject again. It is too painful.
|
|
|
|
#(have_proof)
|
|
Talana. I have brought proof that the Mycon Deep Children destroyed your world Syra.
|
|
|
|
#(SEE_PROOF) syreen-016.ogg
|
|
Let me see this proof, Captain!
|
|
|
|
#(look_at_egg_sacks)
|
|
Look at these fungal egg sacks. We found them near a crustal puncture on a shattered world.
|
|
|
|
#(HORRIBLE_TRUTH) syreen-017.ogg
|
|
Great gods! These fragments... they are IDENTICAL to the debris we found near the punctures on Syra!
|
|
We never guessed that the fragments might be organic!
|
|
To have survived re-entry!... nothing organic would remain!... unless
|
|
UNLESS, it was genetically constructed for this purpose!
|
|
AND ONLY THE MYCONS POSSESS THIS CAPABILITY!!
|
|
THE MYCONS WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THEIR CRIMES!!!
|
|
We will not sit here and do nothing while the Mycon fiends are free to roam the galaxy, perpetrating their evil.
|
|
You wanted our cooperation in fighting the Ur-Quan. You've got it...
|
|
provided you first help us seek our revenge against the Mycon race... help us to destroy them!
|
|
|
|
#(what_doing_here)
|
|
So, Commander Talana, what are you doing here?
|
|
|
|
#(OUR_NEW_WORLD) syreen-018.ogg
|
|
When the Ur-Quan conquered us, over twenty years ago
|
|
I was only a young girl living in Habitat Thirty-One.
|
|
My older sister, Diani, was a starship officer in the Space Patrol
|
|
she was part of the final defense at Raynet... she didn't make it back.
|
|
When the Ur-Quan caught us in open space, we all thought we were going to die
|
|
but then, instead of killing us, the Ur-Quan offered us a choice:
|
|
we could join the ranks of their combat thralls, or we could be slave-shielded in our homeworld.
|
|
Like the people of Earth, we chose peace. We became fallow slaves.
|
|
When the Ur-Quan told us to return to our homeworld, we explained that we had none.
|
|
Ur-Quan Master Nine explained that they had encountered this situation before
|
|
and if we would provide them with a list of our requirements
|
|
they would use their extensive astronomical datastores to find a planet for us!
|
|
So we told them about Syra... about the color of its sky... about the abundant lifeforms,
|
|
about the fertility of the soil and seas.
|
|
Less than an hour later, we received a terse message from Master Nine
|
|
we were to proceed to these coordinates and disembark. This was to be our new home.
|
|
But our new world, Gaia, was everything we described.
|
|
We'd been searching for a home planet for seventy-five years
|
|
and in the end, it was our enemies who gave one to us.
|
|
I grew up on a small island off the main continent, and like all of my people
|
|
we lived each day under the sick, red glow of the slave shield.
|
|
When the Ur-Quan arrived seven years ago to refurbish and recrew this starbase
|
|
I was selected as the new commander.
|
|
|
|
#(what_about_war)
|
|
So what happened to you at the end of the war?
|
|
|
|
#(ABOUT_WAR) syreen-019.ogg
|
|
When we first met your people, we'd been wandering through the stars for almost seventy-five years,
|
|
ever since the death of Syra... our home planet.
|
|
We joined your Alliance, and I use the word `joined' loosely, because we had no other choice.
|
|
The VUX were raiding our slow Habitat columns, and we had nowhere else to go.
|
|
We fought for survival, Captain. Nothing more.
|
|
When your people on Earth were defeated, the Alliance just plain fell apart.
|
|
The Yehat and Shofixti retreated to their native stars and didn't want us to follow.
|
|
The Arilou, those creepy little weasels, just plain bugged out -- vanished
|
|
leaving us alone, with nowhere to go, smack in the path of the oncoming Ur-Quan Armada.
|
|
What were we supposed to do? Fight? Two-thirds of our Habitat fleet was unarmed!
|
|
Many aren't even super-luminal.
|
|
We were going to be annihilated if we resisted, and we knew it.
|
|
When the Ur-Quan surrounded us and started giving orders that all ended with, `Or Die!'
|
|
we took them at face value. We obeyed.
|
|
In exchange they gave us Gaia, the planet below.
|
|
It's a beautiful world, Captain. I wish I could show it to you.
|
|
So don't misunderstand me. We love our freedom as much as anybody else
|
|
but we've got a good life here, and we don't want to lose it.
|
|
|
|
#(help_us)
|
|
If you love freedom and hate the Ur-Quan, why won't you help us?
|
|
|
|
#(WONT_HELP) syreen-020.ogg
|
|
Like I said before, Captain, we would like to help
|
|
but we are unwilling to risk losing Gaia.
|
|
Unless you can find a much more compelling reason for us to get involved
|
|
you are on your own.
|
|
|
|
#(what_about_history)
|
|
Would you tell me a bit about your people and your culture?
|
|
|
|
#(BEFORE_WAR) syreen-021.ogg
|
|
Our species are almost identical, almost too close a match to be just a coincidence.
|
|
Our bodies are very similar, Captain.
|
|
Ha! ha! Except for... certain parts...
|
|
Our cultural development is also mostly parallel.
|
|
Like you Earthlings, we evolved a society from primitive tribes
|
|
whose main function were to protect themselves from the large reptiles native to our old world.
|
|
The main difference between our two sets of cultures... the split in the paths of our development
|
|
occurred in what would have been your prehistory, say 5000 BCE.
|
|
In your world, the agricultural communities were conquered by the more primitive but also more aggressive, migratory herding peoples.
|
|
This led to a particular kind of sexual and political dominance structure
|
|
which pervaded almost all of your Earth Cultures until the early Twenty First century.
|
|
On Syra, our only primitive migratory tribes were confined to our mountainous regions.
|
|
Their herd beasts, the Yma, did not do well in the agricultural basins and plains.
|
|
The two cultures were isolated until much later
|
|
when the technological superiority of the farmers curtailed any major conflict.
|
|
|
|
#(what_about_homeworld)
|
|
What was Syra like?
|
|
|
|
#(ABOUT_HOMEWORLD) syreen-022.ogg
|
|
It was our paradise, Captain, our Eden.
|
|
Earth is the only world we know of whose variety and richness of life even comes close to Syra.
|
|
Again, like so many other things about our two species, our worlds were very much the same
|
|
at least before you began encasing yours in concrete and plastic.
|
|
Syra's gravity was a bit lighter than Earth's, and its day was fifty percent longer.
|
|
Our diurnal cycle is therefore different from yours.
|
|
We spend twenty hours awake, followed by ten hours... horizontal.
|
|
|
|
#(what_happened)
|
|
What happened to Syra?
|
|
|
|
#(DONT_KNOW_HOW) syreen-023.ogg
|
|
This subject is very difficult for us, Captain,
|
|
but I will try to recount those sad days.
|
|
Like your solar system, ours had a large population of comets and asteroids.
|
|
Large meteor impacts, though rare, were not unheard of on our planet.
|
|
So it was not a total shock when an asteroid penetrated our atmosphere and hit the surface.
|
|
What was odd was that unlike most other meteors, this one was not pulverized on impact.
|
|
It penetrated the crust, and indeed went all the way through to the mantle
|
|
causing a `super volcano'.
|
|
The earthquakes caused by the impact were severe.
|
|
The magma pumped out of the caldera wreaked significant damage on the nearby terrain
|
|
but within a few weeks, it had cooled, forming a solid rock bandage over the wound.
|
|
Within a few months we had cleaned up the mess, the caldera was calming down nicely
|
|
and things were pretty much back to normal.
|
|
Then, just over a year after the impact, all hell broke loose on the surface of Syra.
|
|
Huge calderas were opening all over... not just around the meteor impact, but everywhere!
|
|
The scope of the disaster is impossible to imagine
|
|
Entire cities sliding into oceans of molten lava
|
|
kilometer-wide sections of land pulverized by a cataclysmic explosion
|
|
and clouds of poison gas and superheated steam created a death shroud around Syra.
|
|
|
|
#(what_about_outfit)
|
|
Come on now, isn't that outfit, knife included, a bit absurd?
|
|
|
|
#(HOPE_YOU_LIKE_IT) syreen-024.ogg
|
|
Maybe some other time, Captain, I can show you the hidden functionality of my uniform
|
|
knife included!
|
|
|
|
#(where_mates)
|
|
What happened to the males of your species?
|
|
|
|
#(MATES_KILLED) syreen-025.ogg
|
|
When Syra was destroyed, the only people who survived were in orbit
|
|
and most of them were members of our newly established, mostly female, Space Patrol.
|
|
From their ships, their orbital platforms and their lunar outposts they watched Syra die.
|
|
Within three days after the cataclysm began, the surface temperature of Syra had risen by almost 75 degrees
|
|
to above the boiling point of water.
|
|
It became clear that Syra, our paradise, our Eden, was gone.
|
|
The survivors spent years in orbit. They made a few missions to the surface
|
|
and actually found a handful of survivors, but their main activity was to make preparations for departure.
|
|
The Space Patrol fitted makeshift drive units to anything that could hold air:
|
|
orbital factories, research pods, even hotels. When the fleet was ready, they left orbit and never looked back.
|
|
The final population of our species was less than ten thousand, with only five hundred males
|
|
but they were the best and the brightest.
|
|
For the next seventy-five years, our people wandered at sub-light speed through the stars
|
|
looking for a new home.
|
|
|
|

Don't you ever get... lonely? Hmmm?

|
|
#(MUST_ACT)
|
|
Captain. The secret of the Mycon's monstrous murder of our planet has changed the attitudes of many of my people.
|
|
We will not sit here and do nothing while the Mycon fiends are free to roam the galaxy, perpetrating their evil.
|
|
You wanted our cooperation in fighting the Ur-Quan. You've got it... provided
|
|
you first help us seek our revenge against the Mycon race... help us to destroy them!
|
|
|
|
#(whats_next_step)
|
|
Okay. So what do you want us to do?
|
|
|
|
#(OPEN_VAULT) syreen-028.ogg
|
|
Our first step is to get some mobility.
|
|
We have some fine starship officers on board, and they are all eager to go after the Mycons,
|
|
but without our Penetrator starships, we're totally ineffectual.
|
|
So our first step HAS to be recovering our Space Patrol combat fleet.
|
|
We know that the Ur-Quan didn't destroy them... they never waste anything
|
|
but we believe they have sealed them in some kind of deep vault in the surface of an alien planet.
|
|
|
|
#(where_is_it)
|
|
Do you know where your ships are?
|
|
|
|
#(DONT_KNOW_WHERE) syreen-029.ogg
|
|
No, that's your job.
|
|
But maybe we have some clues to help you find them.
|
|
The starship officers who flew the Penetrators to the vault did so with total sensor black-out.
|
|
The only thing they could use for navigation was the presence of the Dreadnought fleet surrounding them.
|
|
When they arrived at their destination and lowered their ships into the immense vault
|
|
they were transported to the Dreadnoughts and only caught a split-second glimpse of the outside world.
|
|
As far as they could tell, the sun was either red or orange. Based on their trip-time calculations
|
|
the farthest they could have travelled is about 200 HyperSpace distance units.
|
|
|
|
#(been_there)
|
|
I've already been there. The vault is on the moon of Epsilon Camelopardalis I, but I couldn't open it.
|
|
|
|
#(GREAT) syreen-030.ogg
|
|
Wonderful! Then the job is already almost complete!
|
|
|
|
#(GIVE_SHUTTLE) syreen-031.ogg
|
|
Captain! We have assembled a small team of our most skilled officers.
|
|
we will send them to your ship on board their own small shuttle.
|
|
We feel that in the interests of efficiency, we keep our officers away from your crew
|
|
at least until the mission is over.
|
|
As soon as you arrive at the vault, our people will take over, figure out a way to open the vault
|
|
and bring our Penetrators back here.
|
|
|
|
#(im_on_my_way)
|
|
Very well then, Commander Talana. I'm on my way.

#(GOOD_LUCK) syreen-032.ogg

Good luck, brave Earthling. When your mission is successful
|
|
maybe then we can... get to know each other better.
|
|
|
|
#(OK_FOUND_VAULT) syreen-033.ogg
|
|
Good, now we can proceed with our plan for REVENGE against the Mycon!
|
|
From our analysis of the Deep Child fragments you showed to us
|
|
and a review of the recorded Mycon transmissions from the War
|
|
we have established the kind of world the Mycons desire for their hideous Deep Children.
|
|
They need a planet like your Earth... or our Syra... one rich in water and oxygen
|
|
and possessing a molten, active mantle.
|
|
Our plan is to lure the Mycons to such a planet, and then attack them when they least expect it.
|
|
We know of just such a world.
|
|
When the Ur-Quan were analyzing their mass of planetary data to find a new home for my people
|
|
one of the close candidates, ranked just below Gaia, was a blue world orbiting close to the star, Organon.
|
|
Captain, we need your services again. Here is what you must do.
|
|
You must go to the Mycon and tell them of this world.
|
|
They will find that the world is suitable, and when they go to Organon
|
|
we shall be there... waiting for them.
|
|
Then we shall destroy them!
|
|
|
|
#(what_now)
|
|
Are you sure the Mycon are going to fall for this? Why should they believe me?
|
|
|
|
#(HERES_THE_PLAN) syreen-034.ogg
|
|
For all their evil, Captain, the Mycon are a naive race.
|
|
They have great difficulty understanding deception.
|
|
If you tell them what they wish to hear, they will believe you.
|
|
|
|
#(whats_my_reward)
|
|
So! What if I die doing all this dangerous stuff? What about... us?
|
|
|
|
#(HERES_REWARD) syreen-035.ogg
|
|
I'm afraid BOTH our duties will be dangerous, Captain.
|
|
We may never see each other again.
|
|
But for now, at least, there's this...
|
|
|
|
#(bye_after_vault)
|
|
I'll miss you, Talana.
|
|
|
|
#(GOODBYE_AFTER_VAULT) syreen-036.ogg
|
|
Don't worry, my human. We will be together again... some day.
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_AFTER_AMBUSH_1) syreen-037.ogg
|
|
SUCCESS, Captain! The Mycons' fleet is in shambles!
|
|
JUSTICE IS OURS!
|
|
We have revenged ourselves against the heinous Mycons!
|
|
They fell for our trap so completely!
|
|
When they approached Organon I, we were hiding behind its moon.
|
|
As they approached, their ships broke combat formation
|
|
in preparation for their hideous implanting ceremony.
|
|
We waited until they were fully dispersed around the planet, then we attacked!
|
|
The standard Mycon tactic would have been to speed out of orbit using a gravity whip maneuver
|
|
but the Podships refused to abandon their slow-moving Deep Children spore pods.
|
|
They remained in the gravity well, and WE SLICED THEM TO RIBBONS!
|
|
They must have lost a dozen ships to their own stupidity... running into their own Plasmoids!
|
|
The rest?... well we took care of most of them... in our own special way.
|
|
and Captain, now that we have taken our revenge on the Mycon
|
|
we give you our starship officers and Penetrator designs so that you can add our ships
|
|
to your fleet.
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_AFTER_AMBUSH_2) syreen-038.ogg
|
|
Hello brave Earthling. Your return is welcome.
|
|
My people, the Syreen, shall be forever in your debt.
|
|
In fact, many of my officers wish to thank you... personally... for your efforts on our behalf.
|
|
I suggest you set aside a week sometime in the near future
|
|
so that you can properly receive your hero's welcome aboard this starbase.
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_AFTER_AMBUSH_3) syreen-039.ogg
|
|
Oh, Captain! The flush of victory still has my body quivering!
|
|
For so many years we have dreamed of putting the death of our beloved homeworld behind us
|
|
and now this has finally come to pass!
|
|
We no longer live in the past... caught in memories of what COULD have been.
|
|
Now each of us plans for the future... toward the bright tomorrow!
|
|
And you know what, Captain?
|
|
I have plans... Plans you would be most interested in hearing
|
|
but I shall save them for later... when we can meet... privately.
|
|
|
|
#(HELLO_AFTER_AMBUSH_4) syreen-040.ogg
|
|
Ah! My beautiful Captain from Earth!
|
|
What can I do for you... please tell me.
|
|
|
|
#(what_now_after_ambush)
|
|
Is there anything else I can do to you - um! - I mean, do FOR you.
|
|
|
|
#(DO_THIS_AFTER_AMBUSH) syreen-041.ogg
|
|
Captain, the next step is to pull down the slave shield from our planet.
|
|
In my opinion, the only people who could do that are the Chenjesu
|
|
and as far as I know, they are under a shield of their own.
|
|
Actually... I'm just dodging the real issue, Captain.
|
|
Your agenda really has only one item... Destroy the Ur-Quan Hierarchy!
|
|
How to do that? I'm not sure
|
|
but I know you can't take them head-on, even with that amazing ship of yours.
|
|
You will have to find their weak spot, and then strike it with everything you've got.
|
|
|
|
#(what_about_you)
|
|
So what happens to you now?
|
|
|
|
#(ABOUT_ME) syreen-042.ogg
|
|
I expect I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few months
|
|
overseeing repairs to our fleet of Penetrator starships
|
|
and preparing some kind of defensive system for this starbase.
|
|
If and when the Ur-Quan return here, we want to have a little surprise ready for them.
|
|
|
|
#(whats_up_after_ambush)
|
|
So, what's new Talana?
|
|
|
|
#(GENERAL_INFO_AFTER_AMBUSH_1) syreen-043.ogg
|
|
Not a great deal, Captain. You seem to be the biggest source of excitement around here.
|
|
I've had requests from just about every officer under my command
|
|
to be transferred to your Earth Starbase to serve under you.
|
|
If I wasn't running this Starbase, I'd be first in line.
|
|
|
|
#(GENERAL_INFO_AFTER_AMBUSH_2) syreen-044.ogg
|
|
We have been intercepting a concentration of Hierarchy broadcasts
|
|
but we cannot translate their content.
|
|
They all appear to be originating from the direction of the Horologii constellation.
|
|
|
|
#(GENERAL_INFO_AFTER_AMBUSH_3) syreen-045.ogg
|
|
Nothing new to report, Captain.
|
|
|
|
#(GENERAL_INFO_AFTER_AMBUSH_4) syreen-046.ogg
|
|
Nothing new to report, Captain.
|
|
|
|
#(bye_after_ambush)
|

Goodbye Talana.
|
|
|

#(GOODBYE_AFTER_AMBUSH) syreen-047.ogg
|

Goodbye my human.
|
|
|
|
#(FOUND_VAULT_YET_1) syreen-048.ogg
|
|
Have you found the ship vault yet?
|
|
|
|
#(FOUND_VAULT_YET_2) syreen-049.ogg
|
|
Any success finding our ships, Captain?
|
|
|
|
#(vault_hint)
|
|
Er... no. Have you got any idea where it is, even a guess?
|
|
|
|
#(OK_HINT) syreen-050.ogg
|
|
Only that the vault is at a red or maybe orange star, and not too far from our position.
|
|
|
|
#(found_vault)
|
|
Yes! We found it on the moon of Epsilon Camelopardalis I.
|
|
|
|
#(bye_before_vault)
|
|
Goodbye, Talana. I'm off to find the vault!
|
|
|
|
#(GOODBYE_BEFORE_VAULT) syreen-051.ogg
|
|
Good luck, Captain.
|
|
|
|
#(what_do_i_get_for_this)
|
|
So what do I get for this, eh? Hmm? Eh?
|
|
|
|
#(GRATITUDE) syreen-052.ogg
|
|
You will receive more gratitude than you know what to do with, Captain.
|
|
|
|
#(not_sure)
|
|
Uh... I'm just not sure. This sounds dangerous.
|
|
|
|
#(PLEASE) syreen-053.ogg
|
|
Please, Captain, we need your help!
|
|
|
|
#(READY_FOR_AMBUSH) syreen-054.ogg
|
|
We will wait here for the Mycons.
|
|
|
|
#(repeat_plan)
|
|
Could you repeat the plan again?
|
|
|
|
#(OK_REPEAT_PLAN) syreen-055.ogg
|
|
Ok, here's the plan, again.
|
|
You must go to the Mycons and tell them about a world at the Organon star system.
|
|
Tell them that you have found the perfect world for their hideous Deep Children.
|
|
We will hide there and wait for them in ambush.
|
|
Then we shall destroy them.
|
|
|
|
#(bye_before_ambush)
|
|
Good luck, Talana.
|
|
|
|
#(GOODBYE_BEFORE_AMBUSH) syreen-056.ogg
|
|
Same to you, my human.
|
|
|
|
#(what_about_us)
|
|
I guess what I mean is... What about us, Talana?
|
|
|
|
#(ABOUT_US) syreen-057.ogg
|
|
I'm afraid our duties will keep us apart, Captain
|
|
But for now, at least, there's this...
|
|
|
|
#(MORE_COMFORTABLE) syreen-058.ogg
|
|
That's more like it... now
|
|
let me help you off with this
|
|
yes... now aren't you a lot more comfortable?
|
|
|
|
#(in_the_spirit)
|
|
I see! Well, in the spirit of interspecies communication, let me just say, COWABUNGA!
|
|
|
|
#(OK_SPIRIT) syreen-059.ogg
|
|
Oooh! Say that word again!
|
|
It makes me feel so excited!
|
|
It makes me want to do something nice for you
|
|
like this...
|
|
and this...
|
|
and especially, this!
|
|
|
|
#(what_in_mind)
|
|
Hey... what have you got in mind here?
|
|
|
|
#(SOMETHING_LIKE_THIS) syreen-060.ogg
|
|
Well to start off, I thought we'd do something like this
|
|
unless your species isn't limber enough
|
|
and then I thought we could move on to something a bit more like... Mmmm... this.
|
|
and after you have recovered, I thought this might be fun!
|
|
and if you're still conscious, I thought we could try this
|
|
even though I've never done it before!
|
|
|
|
#(hands_off)
|
|
Hey! Hands off lady! I'm not THAT kind of Captain.
|
|
|
|
#(OK_WONT_USE_HANDS) syreen-061.ogg
|
|
Oh, Captain... I would never think of doing something unpleasant to you
|
|
quite the opposite in fact.
|
|
But if you want me to keep my hands off... I can use other... things...
|
|
like this over here...
|
|
and this right here...
|
|
and this right about here.
|
|
|
|
#(why_lights_off)
|
|
Ahh... why are the lights off?
|
|
|
|
#(LIGHTS_OFF_BECAUSE) syreen-062.ogg
|
|
Because, my darling, if the light was on, I couldn't do this...
|
|
or this...
|
|
or this...
|
|
or, umm... this.
|
|
|
|
#(evil_monster)
|
|
You're not going to turn into some weird alien monster now, and bite my head off, are you?
|
|
|
|
#(NOT_EVIL_MONSTER) syreen-063.ogg
|
|
Ha!-ha!-ha! An alien monster? Me?
|

ME?! WHY CAAPTAIN! WHYEVER DOO YOOU SAAY THAAAT!!!
|
|
REEAARRGGGG!!!!
|
|
...just kidding!
|
|
|
|
#(disease)
|
|
Very funny. Look, I'd be more comfortable if we just turned the lights back on.
|
|
|
|
#(JUST_RELAX) syreen-064.ogg
|
|
Just relax, my silly human Captain. Let me take care of everything.
|
|
|
|
#(what_happens_if_i_touch_this)
|
|
Hmmm... what happens if I do this?
|
|
|
|
#(THIS_HAPPENS) syreen-065.ogg
|
|
...mmm
|

MMMm!...
|
|
Ohh!...
|
|
...MMMMMmmmmmm!!!...
|
|
does that answer your question?
|
|
|
|
#(are_you_sure_this_is_ok)
|
|
Are you sure this is okay? I'm nervous.
|
|
|
|
#(YES_SURE) syreen-066.ogg
|
|
Please don't worry, my darling human
|
|
we have all the time in the world
|
|
and my door locks securely.
|
|
|
|
#(boy_they_never_taught)
|
|
Boy-oh-boy! They never taught me stuff like this back at Unzervalt!
|
|
|
|
#(THEN_LET_ME_TEACH) syreen-067.ogg
|
|
Then let me teach you what you need to know
|
|
we will begin with the fundamentals of basic Syreen physiology...
|
|
|
|
#(not_much_more_to_say)
|
|
Hmm, uh.. well, uh, I guess I don't have much more to say, do I?
|
|
|
|
#(THEN_STOP_TALKING) syreen-068.ogg
|
|
Then stop wasting your lips on words, you silly fool
|
|
and come here!...

#(SEX_GOODBYE) syreen-070.ogg
|
|
Goodbye Captain, darling... we each have our jobs to do
|
|
now you must go!
|
|
But you will remain always in my mind and heart
|
|
and deep within me, I know that someday, when all this madness has come to an end
|
|
we will be together like this... again.
|
|
|
|
#(OUT_TAKES) syreen-071.ogg
|
|
In case you were wondering about me... don't worry! I'm doing fine!
|
|
In fact, I just talked with the designers and they have assured me
|
|
that the sequel will be all about me! Isn't that great!
|
|
They said they wanted to move away from the warrior mythos
|
|
and expand more into the healer cycle.
|
|
This may be my big chance!
|
|
The only thing I'm not sure about is the new costume they want me to wear.
|
|
They said this one would be REALLY revealing.
|
|
