Tagfer's quotes.
== In the Sanctum Anatomica ==
===Introduction ===
* "One minute, I existed only to eat? And flee? And breed? The next I was… me. But Minn… did Minn have time to be Minn, before… before…? (gulps) She and I… we were the last. Did you know that? Without her… there's no more… us. No more Tagfer and Minn. No soft calls… no gentle nuzzling muzzle. No little Tagfers… no little Minns… ever. (sob) Fibonacci says we have to trust that it's all part of Papa's plan…. How? Why? And now I have a purpose, so the fish says. To help you, in the ways in which I have been instructed. (sobs) When all I want is to be with her! Minn…!"

==== Neutral Rank ====
*"(sobbing)" 
*"The bell... everything that happened? I wish I could remember. But it's all just... flashes. Horrible, horrible flashes." 
*"Sorry. I'm... not very good company right now." 
*"Oh. Hello. Don't mind me. Just... thinking? I don't like it." 
*"Oh. Sorry. I... I didn't see you there. Can I... help you?" 
*"(Mating call)" 
*"(Mournful lowing)" 
*"What do I do? What do I do?" 
*"Minn... it should have been me." 
*"(Whimper)" 
*"Pull it together. Do it for her. Pull it together." 
==== Rank 1 - Assistant ====
*"There's something wrong with the story? Of what happened to us? Something off. Something... fishy." 
*"Fibonacci seems to have taken to this whole situation quite well? Better than Bird and I, at least. What do you think of him? Fibonacci, I mean." 
*"You're human, like Loid. Like... Papa? Does Papa have a plan? Do you think? That, someday, we'll look back and see that... this was all worth it?" 
*"Bird... Bird 3's... sweet? I think my... mood... is scaring him. But I don't what to say, how to tell him how this feels." 
*"Loid doesn't think much of us, does he? What am I even doing here?" 
====Rank 2 - Researcher====
*"I think I'm starting to understand how brains work. The things you remember, the things you don't... until someone says something that brings it all rushing back..." 
*"You need something?" 
*"I feel sorry for Bird. He deserves better than to be stuck with us. 
*"Do you think... do you think Loid knew? The bell I mean. What would happen. To us. Down there. Do you think Papa told him?" 
*"Do you think Loid stood by, while Papa pulled the lever? On those screens... do you think he watched?" 
*"Do you think Papa saw the moment Minn became a person? The exact same moment she realized she was going to die? The only moment I ever really had with her?" 
*"I like you. You're not like the others here. Are you?" 
====Rank 3 - Colleague ==== 
*"nnnnnnnGAAH!" 
*"I should have killed him!" 
*"I can't keep feeling like this. I can't keep feeling like this. I gotta... I gotta get it out. Minn. Minn... what do I do? What do I do?" 
*"(Labored breathing)" 
*"(Coughs)" 
*"What would you have told me to do? I don't know. I never met the person you became. You existed only for an instant and then... gone." 
*"The voices in the walls.. are they getting closer?" 
*"Maybe, those voices in the walls will solve all this for us." 
====Rank 4 - Scholar==== 
*"The fish has been on his best behavior. Can't tell if he's really sorry, or just scared. Mm... What can I help with?" 
*"Loid's been less condescending since Bird gave that speech. I'm still gonna kill Albrecht, though. If Loid makes the mistake of saving me." 
*"That Bird... not as dumb as the fish thinks. As far as I can see... he's the only one... really coming to grips... with what we are now. Sorry. Short of breath. Better now." 
*"The Murmur... the 'Great Indifference'. It doesn't seem so indifferent to me. Seems to me it knows exactly what it wants." 
*"Let's tackle a Netracell. Give me something to focus on other than my woes." 
*"Wanna hit a Netracell? Focusing seems to be good for me." 
*"(Coughs)" 
*"(Pained lowing)" 
====Rank 5 - Illuminate==== 
*"Yeah. Love you too, baby." 
*"You in the mood for a little Netracell action?" 
*"(Happy lowing)" 
*"I was thinking: maybe we can be de-volved. Back to what we were. Maybe... maybe I could live with that. Simplicity, y'know? Nothing complicated upstairs. No demons." 
*"Bird 3. What I wouldn't give for some of that optimism." 
*"Another day another Netracell another poke in the eye for the motherhugger that consigned us to this mess. C'mon. Let's roll." 
*"Murmur or no Murmur, I've been sleepin' better since comin' back from the dead. Try it sometime." 
===Greetings===
====After Reaching Rank 1 - Assistant====
*"Papa's plan, the fish says. All of this to his design. But... how could Papa have known it would go down like this, us getting smart, Minn... unless he had some hand in it? But Papa's trip to the Void went bad as well, right? That wasn't planned, or else he wouldn't be so rushed, and... panicked? Maybe Papa screwed up. Maybe this was all an accident. Loid put me in charge of getting you into the Netracells. I'm thinking maybe... maybe there's something in there that might give us a clue. To why this all had to happen. Or at least smash or steal something the dirtbag that did this to us cares about. A Cervulite's gotta have some hope, right?" 
====Rank 1 - Assistant / Rank 2 - Researcher====
*"Oh. Hello." 
*"Uh, yes?" 
*"Who, me?" 
*"Do you need me?" 
*"Are we heading out, then?" 
====Rank 3 - Colleague ====
*"What." 
*"Yes?" 
*"You wanna head out I guess." 
*"Sure, let's go. It'll take my mind off things" 
*"Ok now what?" 
====Rank 4 - Scholar / Rank 5 - Illuminate ====
*"What ya need?" 
*"Hey." 
*"Hi." 
*"What'll it be?" 
*"Yo." 
*"Are we heading out, then?" 
====After Reaching Rank 5 - Illuminate====
*"Hey. Listen. Thanks for... well, giving us a purpose. Stopping us breaking apart. Better to be alone together, right? The last little while has been the... well, 'happiest' is a stretch, but 'least miserable' I've been since all this happened. We all owe you, for saving what little we had left. But, just so we're clear, when we find Albrecht the old man is mine. Even if I have to go through Loid to get to him." 
===Leaving===
====Rank 1 - Assistant / Rank 2 - Researcher====
*"Okay." 
*"Bye?" 
*"(Sigh)" 
*"Yeah." 
*"So... that's all?" 
*"Yeah, okay." 
*"I understand." 
====Rank 3 - Colleague / Rank 4 - Scholar====
*"(Exhales)" 
*"Any. Time." 
*"Yyyep." 
====Rank 5 - Illuminate====
*"Later." 
*"Yep." 
*"No problem." 
*"You got it." 
*"Mmhmm." 
*"Done." 
*"All right." 
===Selecting Netracells===
====Introduction====
*"Papa never wanted anyone to know what he was up to. That's why he built the Netracells. Little hideaway vaults. Not even Loid knows what he got up to in there. I want to know. I can get you into the Anchorhold, where Albrecht stored all his Keyglyphs. They're on a rotation timer, only one Netracell can be opened at any given time, and before you can do that, you've got to find the Netracell and neutralize any opposition. Impossible for a guy like me, but maybe not for someone with a working pair of opposable thumbs? What do you say?" 
====Rank 1 - Assistant====
*"Maybe... maybe there's some clue to where Albrecht went? Down there? In those Netracells?" 
*"Papa kept his treasures down there. Nothing you can eat, though. Or build a nest with. But it sounds important." 
*"Okay. I'm ready. We off?" 
*"It's so weird, this 'owning' thing. Papa really thought all this was his. Like... like his hands are his? Was his brain broken?" 
*"Okay. So, what do you think? Ready to head out?" 
*"These Netracells were important to Albrecht. Maybe there's answers down there? I... I could use some answers." 
====Rank 1 - Assistant or Higher====
*"Go with the herd, you know. You'll get eaten if you go alone in a Netracell." 
*"IMO solo's a no-go. Have at it but I'm tellin' ya: Albrecht wasn't messin' around with his security. Bring friends." 
*"In my humble opinion you'll last longer with a few warm bodies to soak up the damage. Albrecht's security's no joke." 
*"I know you can take a punch, but crackin' a Netracell's serious business. Keep ya friends close." 
*"Don't wanna tell you your business, but if I was trying to get into a Netracell, I'd go with a pack." 
====Rank 2 - Researcher or Higher====
*"I gotta believe there's some clue to where Albrecht went in those Netracells." 
*"The old man kept a lot of weird crap down here." 
*"For an old guy to build all this, just to have somewhere to keep goodies. They gotta be worth something to him - and I don't mean money." 
*"Netracells. Let's go." 
*"How long someone has to live to get his hands on this much stuff... I dunno. Too long, that's for sure." 
*"Let's go." 
====Rank 3 - Colleague====
*"Yeah?" 
*"Go, don't go, I don't care." 
*"Fine." 
===Entering Anchorhold===
====Rank 1 - Assistant====
*"Okay." 
*"Right. Right." 
*"Now?" 
*"Okay. I think I'm ready." 
*"Yep. Okay. Let's... let's go?" 
*"What, right now? Right, right, okay." 
====Rank 2 - Researcher or Higher====
*"Nice." 
*"Perfect." 
*"Works for me." 
*"Alright. What's his is ours." 
*"Let's rob the old fart blind." 
*"Be with you in five." 
*"Let's crack that thing." 
====Rank 3 - Colleague====
*"Whatever." 
*"Okay okay let's get this over with." 
*"Sure sure. C'mon." 
*"Not. A good time. Fine. Maybe I could use the distraction." 
===Declining Netracells===
====Rank 1 - Assistant====
*"Ah. Okay then. Maybe later." 
*"Are... are you sure? Is everything okay?" 
*"Oh. Okay. Should I be doing something different?" 
====Rank 2 - Researcher or Higher====
*"C'mon. Who am I gonna ask? Bird?" 
*"You really got something better to do?" 
*"Okay. You're the boss." 
==== Rank 3 - Colleague====
*"Fine by me." 
*"Don't let me keep you." 
*"You're the boss, boss." 
===Papa?===
*"I've kicked dirt. Galloped through sand. But that out there, isn't of nature. It's just, nothing. It's not natural. Sometimes it looks like Papa's Vessel is sinking in, like... quicksand? But it doesn't move. I hope you can control it." 
*"Turns out Papa has a whole family upstairs. A daughter. Grandkids. None of them have any idea about any of... this. If he was hiding them, in the here and now, what was he hiding back in 1999?" 
*"Listen. I know Loid cares for 'Papa', so if you find him and anything... goes down, do me a solid. Keep Loid away. You understand?" 
*"Do you see what I see, over thataway? A monument to something taken from me, forever. When you rebuild Papa's Vessels, rip that one's head off next time." 
*"Netracells... Far as I'm concerned, anything of Papa's is yours. Archon shards, Jewelry. Loose furniture. Secrets." 
*"Whatever Papa touched, the Indifference, the Murmur, I think it's lonely. It wants to be a part of what we've got going on. Only, it doesn't know that. And it does its best to join in, but it's clumsy. Ignorant. So everything about it is... skewed. Half-assed. You follow?" 
*"If there's anything in the Netracells about the Vessels, steal it." 
*"Settling the score with Albrecht wont bring Minn back. I'm not stupid. You gotta understand, I'm not doing it for me. Or her. Or Loid, or any of us. I'm doing it because it needs doing." 
===Customization===
====Opening Customization====
*"Just... promise me you won't laugh." 
*"A change is as good as a bender. Whatta we got." 
*"Time for a new me, maybe." 
====During Customization====
*"Decisions, decisions..." 
*"So? Whadda we think?" 
*"I mean, I could get used to it." 
*"Feels like me, but is it me me, y'know?" 
====Exiting Customization====
*"Might take some gettin' used to, but... I like it." 
*"If she could see me now." 
*"Not bad!" 
==Encountering a Whisper==
===Approaching Grimoire===
*"That book. I look at it and I want to spit or split. That thing's wrong. Capital W Wrong." 
*"If I ever see that Grimoire, I'm gonna bolt. You gotta understand, it's... a predator." 
*"How can you even go near that book? You're made of stronger stuff than me." 
*"'Papa' left some bad things behind. That book's one of 'em." 
===Unbinding Whisper===
*"Aaaand it's out. You let it out." 
*"Listen! It's not you. It's... wearing your skin but it's not you. Kill it!" 
*"What kinda moron lets a starving predator out of a trap? Well, now you gotta deal with... whatever that is." 
===First Health Bar Depleted===
*"It's not dead! You have to kill the... the smell of it. Understand?" 
*"It's still hunting. Find the burrow it winters in. Kill that." 
*"Not safe. It's still out there. You have to kill all of it. Not just the skin." 
====Health Bar Depleted Again====
*"Okay. You have to hunt it now. Find what it doesn't want you to find." 
*"You can't. Kill. A shadow! Find what's casting it!" 
*"It's running. Growing a new skin. If you're quick and ballsy you can finish it. Maybe." 
===Whisper Recovers===
*"Ah. It grew a new shell. Now you have to crack it again." 
*"That thing is back. Walking around in a new body. You gotta finish it off for good." 
====Whisper Recovers Again====
*"You know it's playing with you, right? You can't kill it like this!" 
*"Every time it does this because it's leading you away from something. Find the thing!" 
*"It's gonna kill you, isn't it? I don't wanna watch that." 
===Discovering Whisper Grimoire===
*"Yes. That. There. The book. That's its real body. Kill it!" 
*"You found it! Kill it, fast!" 
*"Okay, now's your chance. Destroy. The. Book." 
===Grimoire Destroyed===
*"You woke up a bad thing, but then you killed it, so uh, I guess you did okay." 
*"I told you not to mess with it! I'm glad you're okay."
