=== DLC05Tercorien ===
Speaker 	Conversation
Elliott Tercorien	Hey there, little one. So, are your parents anywhere aboard this ship?
Sally 	Naw. Just me and my sister. I dunno what happened to my parents.
Elliott Tercorien	Your sister's up here? Have you seen her?
Sally 	Well, I saw her once. When I first woke up on this ship, but I haven't seen her since.
Elliott Tercorien	Hey, don't worry. If she's up here, we're going to find her. Okay?
Sally 	Thanks, Mr. Tercorien. I knew you'd help.
Speaker 	Conversation
Elliott Tercorien	Hey Somah, can you tell me how it all ends up? You know, what happens down there?
Somah 	I dunno... all I heard was that one side or the other started dropping bombs and it just all went to shit.
Elliott Tercorien	So they don't know who started it or who won?
Somah 	You don't get it 'cause you've never been down there! It's all gone, Tercorien. Doesn't matter who won or who started it.
Elliott Tercorien	Then I don't really have anything to go back to, do I? I mean, my family's gone, my friends are gone... everything I knew is gone.
Somah 	Yeah, yeah I guess so. Sorry. I keep forgetting this is different for you. I grew up in the ruins and you didn't.
Somah 	Sorry, you'll just have to learn to deal with it like the rest of us. (terminates the convo)
Elliott Tercorien	It's okay, Somah. It's my problem... I'll deal with it.
Speaker 	Conversation
Elliott Tercorien	
Paulson 	Yeah? What is it? Spit it out.
Elliott Tercorien	Well... I just thought, ummm... we should get to know each other. I mean after all, we're watching each other's backs. So...
Paulson 	Look, you do the healin' and I do the killin'. Besides that, what do we have to talk about?
Elliott Tercorien	Well, I just thought...
Paulson 	Well, see, that's your problem. You thought, but you're wrong. Now, isn't there some bandages you should be makin' or somethin'?
Elliott Tercorien	
=== DLC05Somah ===
Speaker 	Conversation
Somah 	Wow, so you were down there when all this started. Right before the bombs fell. That's crazy.
Elliott Tercorien	I guess so. I can't believe they went ahead with the nukes. I mean, they wiped everything out! How stupid could they be?
Somah 	You don't seem the soldier type, Tercorien. Why the heck did you join the army in the first place?
Elliott Tercorien	Join? I was forced into service. I worked in a hospital before I was in the army. They put the gun in my hand.
Somah 	Ever pull the trigger on that gun? You know, ever kill someone?
Elliott Tercorien	Once. I had no choice. It was either him or me. I hope I never have to do it again.
Somah 	Tell you what. I'll do the shooting, and you do the patching. It's the only way we're gonna make it out of here alive.
Speaker	Conversation
Somah 	Hey sweetie, can I talk to you a second?
Sally 	Sure, what did ya want?
Somah 	You seem like you know your way around this ship. Have you been looking for something?
Sally 	Yeah. My sister. I think she's on this ship somewhere.
Somah 	Your sister? How do you know that?
Sally 	We were together when the aliens took us from home. I saw her on the table next to mine when I woke up on this ship.
Somah 	Well then, I'll help you keep an eye out for her. Okay?
Sally 	Aw, thanks Somah! You're the best!
Speaker	Conversation
Somah 	So, what's your story, tough guy?
Paulson	My story? Same as you. I don't know where the heck I am and I want to go home.
Somah 	No, I mean what's your deal? Where are you from? We don't know anything about you.
Paulson	Good, I aim to keep it that way. I'll work with you, but I'm not here to make friends.
Somah 	Look, cowboy. We need to work together to get out of here. So like it or not, you're stuck with us. You can drop the "lone gunman" routine.
Paulson	Just stay out of the way of my bullets when I'm shooting the aliens, and you'll do just fine.
Somah 	Fine, fine. I get the message. You know, you were warmer when you were frozen.
Paulson	No one asked you to thaw me out.
=== DLC05Sally ===
Speaker 	Conversation
Sally 	Did you have to help a lot of people who were hurt when you were in the war?
Elliott Tercorien	Yeah... all the time. I was a doctor, so it was my job to try and make everyone feel better.
Sally 	How come people still die then after they get hurt even when a doctor is around?
Elliott Tercorien	
Sally 	So if I get hurt, will I die?
Elliott Tercorien	
Sally 	So you promise to fix me if I get hurt?
Elliott Tercorien	
Speaker	Conversation
Sally 	Somah, what's it like down there? Is it still the same?
Somah 	Same as when you were down there you mean?
Sally 	Yeah. I mean, everything was all blown up and really dirty. There were lotsa sick people everywhere too, and lotsa people crying.
Somah 	That about sums it all up. The world is still a huge mess.
Sally 	Sigh. I wish that they could fix that. I hated being down there.
Somah 	There isn't anyone left to fix anything. Everything's in ruins, people are still fighting to survive and I don't see anything that can change that.
Sally 	Maybe we should just stay up here then! I hated when it was like that!
Somah 	
Speaker	Conversation
Sally 	Hey, mister? Are you a real cowboy?
Paulson	Well, yeah. I suppose you could say that.
Sally 	Wow! So you got to ride horses? Real, living horses? I've never even seen a real living horse. What are they like?
Paulson	Well, I guess if you find the right one, it'll be your friend for life. Find the wrong one, and it'd rather throw you than carry you.
Sally 	That's funny, sounds like the way people can be too!
Paulson	You know, for a little lady, you're pretty smart. I just hope you were smart enough to pick the right horse when you broke this stranger out.
Sally 	Aw, don't worry. I always pick good friends.
Paulson	I sure hope so, for all our sakes.

ID	Speaker 	Conversation
01	Elliott Tercorien	Hey look, Giddyup Buttercups! All the rich kids had them.  Waste of money if you ask me.
01	Somah 	You've got to be kidding me... I saw posters like these all over the ruins.  Never actually saw one 'til now.
01	Paulson 	Now that looks like some tough ridin'. Those things real?
02	Elliott Tercorien	Look, even more of them.  Buttercups that is.
02	Somah 	Huh, I wonder what they're doing with them.
02	Paulson 	Well I'll be damned...look at all 'em!
03	Elliott Tercorien	OK, this is getting a little ridiculous now.
03	Somah 	This is kind of disturbing.
03	Paulson 	Giddyup.
04	Elliott Tercorien	Oh wow. I remember these posters plastered all over the place back home.
04	Somah 	They even have some of the posters I've seen scattered about the Wastes. Looks like they're studying them...or idolizing them, not sure.
04	Paulson 	Why look at what we got here.  Little girl here ridin' one of those horses.  Giddyup Buttercup...kind of catchy ain't it?
05	Elliott Tercorien	What are they doing to the Buttercups?
05	Somah 	
05	Paulson 	What kind of horses are these anyway? I can't see anyone havin' any respect ridin' into town on one of those things.
06	Elliott Tercorien	Our situation didn't get any better by the looks of what happened here. I say we get the hell out of here.
06	Somah 	Curious, but I don't think I want to know the answer judging by what happened here. Let's not stay long, this place gives me the creeps.
06	Paulson 	Hell, my horse never did that...

=== DLC05ConvERoom ===
This section covers conversations in the mothership engine room.
ID 	Speaker 	Conversation
DLC05ConvERoomEngine 	Elliott Tercorien	What is that thing?
DLC05ConvERoomEngine 	Somah 	I wonder what a well placed grenade could do to that thing.
DLC05ConvERoomEngine 	Paulson 	DLC05ConvERoomEngine
DLC05ConvERoomEngineGasTrap 	Elliott Tercorien	They're trying to gas us again.
DLC05ConvERoomEngineGasTrap 	Somah 	Check your weapon, they're venting in gas again.
DLC05ConvERoomEngineGasTrap 	Paulson 	More gas.
DLC05ConvERoomEpoxy 	Elliott Tercorien	Grab some of that epoxy, our weapons could use the field repair.
DLC05ConvERoomEpoxy 	Somah 	All right, some epoxy!
DLC05ConvERoomEpoxy 	Paulson 	Epoxy over here.
DLC05ConvERoomFilthyStructures	Elliott Tercorien	This place is filthy.
DLC05ConvERoomFilthyStructures	Somah 	Welcome to the bowels of this shit hole.
DLC05ConvERoomFilthyStructures	Paulson 	What a mess.
DLC05ConvERoomFirstRoom 	Elliott Tercorien	Those guys in there look busy.
DLC05ConvERoomFirstRoom 	Somah 	Looks like they're repairing something in there.
DLC05ConvERoomFirstRoom 	Paulson 	What's going on in there?
DLC05ConvERoomGasTrap 	Elliott Tercorien	They're flooding the room with gas.
DLC05ConvERoomGasTrap 	Somah 	Smells like they're pumping in flammable gas.
DLC05ConvERoomGasTrap 	Paulson 	Gas.  Flammable gas.
== DLC05CoreScene ==
