## Quotes

### 2: Evacuating the Station

* "Don't shoot! It's me, **Alister Beckett**!"
* "I'm not sure how long we would be in here, but the both of you better not third wheel me on the way back to Earth!"
* "Oh my god, please. I've been trying to get on at least 10 other escape pods, but no one wants to let me in. And now, I get one like this."
* "..... I'm sorry guys."
* "No, I c-can't-"
* "This whole incident was all my fault."

### 3: Re-entering the Atmosphere

* "Listen, it's as good as it's my fault, alright?"
* "I know what you're probably thinking, but you're going to regret it for life if you don't listen to what I have to say."
* "I-I wouldn't dare, Callie. Could you guys please lower your weapons?"
* "Callie, Max, can't y-you see that it's me? It-it's Alister, your best friend! Pl-please just let me explain myself!"
* "Thank you for showing mercy to me, Miss Weber! Now, let me sta-"

### 4: Getting the Answers

* "Pl-please just let me explain. I'm completely at your mercy right now. Please hear me out without interrupting me, and you can do whatever you like afterwards."
* "As you both know, I promised to keep all secrets and information about the Toppat Clan and the Gov't to myself."
* "Also, I have close friends that have high ranking positions on both factions."
* "You're familiar with **Christopher Fenceberg** yes? I didn't betray the Toppat Clan.....I betrayed **him.**"
* "You heard me right. However, I didn't do it deliberately."
* "On the 28th of July, Chris and I were hanging out at the Canadian tundra tavern, disguised as normal Gov't soldiers."
* "At one point, he accidentally let slip that the Gov't raid is going to take place on the 4th of August, 2 days before the Toppats' planned launch date.
* He made me promise not to tell anyone what I heard which I did, but it seemed like someone else was eavesdropping on us at that time."
* "When I got back to the launch site, Sven called me to his office and asked me to confirm the date of the Gov't raid, knowing that I have ties with the Gov't."
* "Not wanting to outright lie to our leader's face for something this important, I figured that helping the Toppats would prevent many casualties on both sides."
* "Additionally, I thought I would be safe from an immediate Gov't retaliation when I'm on an active orbital station, intending to slowly explain myself to Chris when things have settled down."
* "So I broke my promise for the first time, and confirmed the date of the Gov't raid."
* "Chris infiltrated the clan and hid himself in the cargo bay on the night of 1st August. He was unaware that the chief brought forward the launch date, because he believed that I wouldn't tell."
* "Next morning, he was rudely awakened by the sound of the launching rocket and that's when he realised what I must have done."
* "The Gov't only wants to defeat the clan, but Chris is even more brutal; He wants to **destroy** the clan."
* "He expertly disguised himself as one of the cargo bay workers and continued his plan of taking down the clan."
* "First, he hacked the system controlling the escape pods in an attempt to cause them to blow up in space, but he's not that competent of a hacker himself to get past all our firewalls. The worst he did was:
	1. Mess up the autopilot's direction programming for all escape pods, **causing them to land in random locations.**
	2. Make the fingerprint scanner (to access the escape pod) defective for some escape pods, **causing some to not open immediately.**
	3. Reset the countdown timer for some escape pods, **delaying the timer from 10 seconds to 1 minute."**

* Next, he placed explosives in several locations including a small one in the core, intending to damage the core and cause it to enter meltdown."
* "The other explosives would be detonated in an attempt to block off hallways and slow down any evacuation attempts."
* "I had witnesses, who saw and reported Chris' presence to Burt and the chief."
* "At around 21:30 UTC yesterday, Chris barged into my room in his Toppat getup and told me everything he's done."
* "He then told me that there's no more future for the clan, and that he'll forgive me if I ditched the clan and joined C.L.A.W. as a permanent member to hunt down the Ground Division."
* "I was split between both factions, so we talked while he guided me to the hallway that contained Escape Pods #31 to #60."
* "It was only at the hallway, when he fully revealed his intention: To doom every Toppat on board without giving them a chance to evacuate, and hunt down and kill every remaining Toppat who were stationed on Earth!"
* "He took out the detonator but I had enough, so I fought with him over it."
* "He could easily have killed me, but he wanted the detonator; he didn't want to cause serious damage to me. One of us must have pressed the red button in our scuffle, because the entire station shook in a huge explosion, throwing us to the ground."
* "Chris then put me into a headlock and started forcing me into Escape Pod #31, mentioning something about 'how lucky we are because the hallway explosives didn't detonate'."
* "Just as I was about to pass out, I was rescued by a light green hatted member with curly orange hair. He did something to make Chris let go of me and immediately engaged him in hand-to-hand combat. They had a brief but brutal fight as far as I could tell while I was recovering from the headlock."
* "But right as I recovered and got to my f-feet.....I-I saw....."
* "He did. Chris had Lucky in a headlock and forced Lucky to face me."
* "Chris then told me that everything that happened was all my fault, including Lucky's death, then snapped his neck and threw him to the side!"
* "As I ran down the hallway, Chris pulled out a pistol and commanded me to join him or else. I then heard a shot behind me."
* "However the shot that rang out did not come from his gun; Bloodhound arrived at the scene and immediately opened fire on Chris."
* "Chris was hit in the shoulder and lost his gun, but he got into Escape Pod #31 and closed the bulletproof door on Bloodhound before the escape pod departed."
* "Chris detonated the hallway explosives before I could reach Bloodhound, covering the hallway in debris and nearly covering me too if I hadn't ran the moment the first explosive blew."
* "He wants me dead now!"
* "Luckily, it seems like Bloodhound's alright, because Chris' sighting was reported over the intercom. He's the only person who could have warned the others at that point."
* "The Toppat members who arrived on my side of the hallway saw the debris and gave me strange looks, so I left for another escape pod hallway-yours!"
* "Oh, we've landed on one of the Pacific Islands?! What about the others?!"
* "He showed me a device that's very similar to the ones you and Callie were holdin-"
* "It's a C.L.A.W. combat drone, take cover!"
* "Huh, what are they even doing?"

### 11: Crossing the Pacific

* **"Christopher Fenceberg has someone's GHS Device! He just sent a MQ-1 Predator Drone to kill us 8 hours ago!"**
* **"*They!*"**
* "Luna landed in Colombia."
* "That's on the other side of the Pacific, but at least she's more than capable of conversing with the locals. It's pretty close to our South American Base too!"
* "Ok, so....."
* "It turns out that Chris was more or less single-handedly responsible for the destruction of the Toppat Orbital Station!"
* "He came to my room and wanted me to go with him after revealing that he had sabotaged the station!"
* "Yes, apparently he was hiding in the cargo bay when we blasted off to space!"
* "He also showed me a GHS Device, declaring that he and I (together with CLAW) could clear out every single member of the Toppat Ground Division in a matter of days!"
* "Shortly after telling Callie and Max about Chris, CLAW chose that moment to send a UCAV to kill us!"
* "But since our hats were stowed in our escape pod, **they fired both missiles at the escape pod, not knowing that we were actually hiding and observing it from the foliage!"**
* "Yeah!"
* "This helicopter doesn't actually belong to the Gov't, it belongs to **Nightlych Security Contractors!"**
* "Nope."
* "We ***negotiated.***"
* "Who's coming to meet Windsor?"
* "Not too many people should go together, or someone's likely going to accidentally tumble down the mountain."
* "Windsor, it's us! Come on, we have a helicopter waiting for you a few hundred metres away."
