**Dewey Alms** is the CEO of Archive, Inc.

## In-Mission

* "Hundreds of people are in those buildings, make sure they stay standing!"
* "...Did you pick up a strange glitch in your sensors just now?"
* "Seismic readings are picking up more Vek surfacing near your location!"
	+ "Vek surfacing!"
	+ "That Vek blocked the other one from surfacing!"
	+ "How about that - the one Vek prevented the other from surfacing!"
* About Vek
	+ "The Vek goes to join Old Earth in the depths."
	+ "The Vek joins Old Earth in its grave."
	+ "The Vek aren't amphibious... it'll be dead before it touches bottom, I suspect."
	+ "Look at that Vek fall! I think I just heard a cheer from operations!"
	+ "The Vek actively avoid smoke... much like our own pilots."
	+ "It mystifies me why the Vek kill their own."
	+ "It seems the Vek are as susceptible to the cold as we are.",
	+ "Interesting... the Vek don't seem strong enough to break free of the ice."
* Building Hit
	+ "Please watch your fire, those buildings have civilians in them!",
	+ "Please try to defend the buildings, not damage them!",
	+ "What a loss... that building stood tall for hundreds of years.",
	+ "Dispatching rescue crews to see if any civilians can be helped!",
	+ "Archive construction at work! Our buildings may be old, but they're sturdy!",
	+ "Whew, the building held! That was close!"
	+ "The Grid is failing! We don't have much power left!"
* Pilot Killed
	+ "It's hard to lose a soldier, but focus on the mission!"
	+ "Another brave pilot lost to these monsters..."
	+ "I... I think we can salvage that Mech, but the A.I. unit's beyond repair."
* Mission Success
	+ "Not a single Vek life sign detected in the region - you've wiped them out!"
	+ "Our scanners are picking up reduced Vek activity. What a relief!"
	+ "You've shown exceptional skill, Pilot! Let me be the first to congratulate you on your promotion!"

## Archive Missions

* Train Mission
	+ "Ol' Harold's one tough locomotive, but even he can't take much more!"
	+ "That train's tough, but it can't take another hit!"
	+ "That hit damaged poor Harold beyond repair. The last Old Earth locomotive... lost."
	+ "The train's lost... what a tragedy. But at least it was lost carrying out its duty."
* Airstrike
	+ "We've got one of our jets coming in for a bombing run! Clear the target zone!",
	+ "Bomber incoming! Clear the area!",
* Tanks
	+ "We're reading green on the tanks - they're ready to go!",
	+ "Those Old Earth tanks are powered up and ready to fight!"
	+ "My engineers report that the remaining tank should be ready for action. Send it into the fray!"
* Dam
	+ "That dam needs to be destroyed... we need a natural barrier to stop the Vek, and a river's what we need."
	+ "I hate to press, but is the dam still intact?",
	+ "If you can bring that dam down, do it! Better the monument fall than the people of Archive."
	+ "Look at that river run! Well done Squad, I knew you could do it!"
	+ "You know, I always thought a river would look nice in that region."
* Satellites
	+ "No, not the satellite! I can't look!"
	+ "The satellite's lost! Grandfather must be spinning in his grave...",
	+ "I'm sorry, grandfather, we tried to keep the satellites preserved..."
	+ "The rocket's about to take off! I can't believe it!",
	+ "Rocket's almost ready, Squad, just keep the Vek away a little longer..."
	+ "It's away! Oh my stars, that is magnificent!",
	+ "I can't believe it, the rocket launched! Er, well, I mean, I was SURE it would, but Old Earth relics can be, um, unreliable sometimes."
* Mines
	+ "Well, those Old Earth mines still have some fire in them!",
	+ "Please be careful of the mines - I certainly wouldn't want you to go the way of that Vek!"

## Pod

* "Our satellites are picking up an incoming Pod."
* Squad, we've picked up a Time Pod!"
	+ "It's vital we obtain that Pod. It may hold something that'll help us win the war."
	+ "Those Pods look like old space capsules... but I don't recognize the alloy. How unusual."
	+ "Maybe something can be recovered from the wreckage of that Pod. Though from the looks of it, I doubt it."
* Secret Pod
	+ "Odd... we're getting some kind of signal from that mountain that was just destroyed."
	+ "That's odd... we're getting some sort of signal from beneath the ice."
		- "What's this...? We're picking up a strange craft on sensors."

## Defeat

* "Power Grid shutting down! The Vek are overrunning the island!"
* "If you truly can go back in time - do it now."

## Victory

* "Thank you, Squad... you saved us. You have our gratitude."
* "I shall see to it Archive Inc. never forgets this historic day. Thank you, Squad."
