#### Combat Dialogue

* Well well, a pleasure to meet you, I believe we’ll be seeing each other quite often!
* Don’t you worry! There’s no real reason for us to lose, either.

**Victory Cry*** Those fellows were frankly more ungainly than I had expected.
* This valuable information is a steal at such a low price! I hope you don’t mind us visiting regularly!

**Death*** What is that loony planning to do… with a place like this…

**On Ally Death*** It’s alright! I am still perfectly fine.
* Oh dear, you should’ve been careful not to get hurt!
* It’s well within your responsibility to watch out for harm coming your way!

**On Kill*** You’re so remarkably slow, my eyes could never lose track of you even if I tried!
* Getting our hands on the secrets of the Singularity… will only be a matter of time!
* That was simple! Chin up and push ahead just a bit further, everyone!
