* "Final bit. Look around by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen" - Devil's Commander, after destroying the Alien egg with a Marine.
* "Why don't you help those army boys over there kill that alien hive? Can't let 'em have all the fun" - Devil's Commander, after moving around the screen.
* "Hell yeah, look at those alien bits. Tome to wrap things up and lock this place down. One of our grunts can do it by standing on top." - Devil's Commander, after destroying the Alien Hive.
* "You're kicking alien ass now. Why don't you mp up here and capture the entire sector? I'll see you back at base." - Devil's Commander, after capturing the Alien Hive.
