**Jessica Kern** is the C.E.O. of R.S.T. Corporation. A pragmatic and ruthless leader, she is not as amiable to the arrival of the Mechs and is immediately suspicious, but welcomes their aid in defeating the Vek.

## In-Mission

* "Now show me what those Mechs of yours can do."
* "What was that? Just had a moment of deja vu... like when you first arrived."
* Emerging Vek
	+ "Seismic readings are spiking. More Vek will be here soon.",
	+ "Watch the ground, we're detecting increased subterranean Vek activity."
	+ "The Vek have reached topside. They'll be more trouble now."
	+ "The Vek impede their own.",
	+ "That Vek has blocked the other. Stupid creatures.",
	+ "If only I could block every emerging Vek with another."
* On Vek
	+ "May the aquatic life feed on that Vek's corpse.",
	+ "If you can't kill the Vek with your weapons, water will suffice."
	+ "We'll send a team to dig the Vek out later to make sure it's dead.",
	+ "Better to kill the Vek where our sensors can confirm it... but the fall should kill the Vek."
	+ "The smoke disorients the Vek, makes them easy targets."
	+ "Now that the Vek's frozen, don't let it break free."
	+ "Vek kill their own. Such stupid creatures.",
	+ "Mindless beasts... the Vek can't even stop themselves from killing each other."
* Building Hit
	+ "Careless. That building should have been protected!",
	+ "Your incompetency will result in hundreds of deaths!",
	+ "We need you to defend those buildings!",
	+ "It is unacceptable to let the Vek succeed. Stop them!",
	+ "You're there to stop the Vek, not watch them destroy the city.",
	+ "The Grid held. You got lucky this time.",
	+ "The Power Grid's defense is unreliable at best. But it worked this time, that building held.",
	+ "The Grid is bleeding power. Another hit, and we're done for.",
* Vek Killed
	+ "Competent."
	+ "Now let's see you do even better."
	+ "Kill confirmed."
	+ "Don't get complacent... there's thousands more."
	+ "Pat yourself on the back after the mission's done."
* On Pilot Death
	+ "Another life the Vek will answer for.",
	+ "We will make the Vek pay for your pilot's sacrifice."
	+ "No matter how many machines the Vek destroy, we will find a way to make more. We must.",
	+ "That Mech is now useless.",
	+ "The loss of that Mech is why mechanized pilots can never compare to human pilots."
* Mission Success
	+ "Every Vek has been wiped out. Thorough - and impressive.",
	+ "Excellent work. That is all."
	+ "Hard to believe, but it appears you drove them off."
	+ "While I would have preferred you kill all the Vek, the region is secure, and that is enough."
	+ "You've proven yourself in the field, Pilot. But to prove yourself to me, you'll have to save R.S.T. first.",
	+ "Perhaps I underestimated you, Officer Pilot. I think you could teach our cadets how best to fight the Vek."

## Pod

* "Another Pod from 'your future' is incoming.",
* "One of your 'Time Pods' has appeared on sensors. Perhaps this one will shed truth on why you're really here."
* "That Pod's technically company property, so make sure it gets back intact.",
* "I want that Pod retrieved... and if you can't retrieve in during the battle, keep the Vek from it.",
* "If only those Pods would hit a Vek on the way down.",
* "Those Pods are falling from the skies... suspicious."
* "Careless."
* "Now that you've made recovering the Pod impossible, focus on the mission."

## R.S.T. Missions

* Train
	+ "Our maglev's crippled, but can be repaired. Keep it from taking any more damage."
	+ "Our maglev's destroyed. A waste.",
	+ "Careless."
* Terraform
	+ "Stay out of the terraformer's way and let it do its work.",
	+ "Use the terraformer to kill the Vek if you have to... it's an effective weapon."
	+ "Report to my office about that terraformer as soon as you're back.",
	+ "About that terraformer... make my office the first stop when you return to base.",
	+ "Terraformer's offline. Careless."
* Cataclysm
	+ "Watch the terrain... R.S.T. is continually shifting and breaking apart.",
	+ "Knock the Vek into the chasms if you can - the fall will kill them."
* Storm
	+ "Even storms hate the Vek...",
	+ "That's why we harness the weather against the Vek. It's quite effective."
* Solar
	+ "I'll see to it you apologize to the R.S.T. families personally.",
	+ "We needed those farms!",
	+ "Solar farm's been destroyed. Careless."
* Mountains
	+ "You have your orders. Those mountains need to come down.",
	+ "If those mountains remain standing, the Vek will use them as a staging ground for more attacks.",
	+ "Direct your fire on the mountains! We can't let them be used as hives."
* Bombs
	+ "This site holds two warheads designed by a temporal physicist, Dr. Renfield, utilizing your 'breach' technology. R.S.T. was deemed the safest place to test them."
	+ "Excellent, both prototypes survived intact. I can order Renfield and his team to move on to stage two."
	+ "While you lost one of Renfield's prototypes, at least the other is intact. But your carelessness could cost us the war."
	+ "Your incompetence knows no bounds. Not one, but both of Renfield's prototypes destroyed... you may have cost us the war!"

## Secret

* "Our sensors are picking up strange readings from that mountain that was destroyed. Investigate if you can."
* "Our sensors are picking up strange readings from beneath that layer of ice. Investigate if you can."
* "Sensors have picked up an unidentified craft descending on your location."

## The Last Stand

* "Deploying remote power pylons. They'll keep you connected to the Grid."
* "Incoming seismic activity. Brace yourselves."
* "Sending down power pylons. Keep them operational, we don't have any more."
* "Deploying a Renfield Bomb. Defend it while it primes and it will destroy the hive."
	+ "Deploying another bomb, but it will need more time to prime. Try to keep this one in one piece."
* "The Renfield bomb is ready. I recommend you leave now or you'll share a grave with the Vek."

## Defeat

* "The Power Grid has collapsed! We've failed!",
* "You've failed to protect the Grid! R.S.T.... all the islands... we're finished!",
* "The Grid has collapsed! The Vek are swarming the island!"
* "The Vek are erupting across the islands... if you can get to safety, do so.",
* "If you are time travelers, then prove it. There is nothing more here.",
* "It is over. Escape if you can... I will die here, with my people."

## Victory

* "My trust in you was not misplaced. You were tested, and you prevailed."
