Quotes

Log of the crash in Embark Beach - before the update...

...and after the update

"W20 Corporal Bane" in Embark Beach (quotes sorted in chronological order):

"I told you I'd be back. What? I didn't? Has that not happened yet? Forget I said anything."

"You suppose it will cause any problems with the temporal stability of reality for both of us to be here at the same time?" (Turns to look at "Lvl 20 Corporal Bane" when he says this.)

"You should follow my lead, I'm your future self, after all." (Turns to look at "Lvl 20 Corporal Bane" when he says this.)

"Don't make eye contact. If you make direct eye contact, it could erase time."

During Annihilator:

"Does the thought of a helpless woman being slaughtered helplessly by a giant killing machine somehow not imply urgency to you? Let's move!"

"Double time. Move, move, move!"

"I sure wish I had some ammo."

"Sarah won't survive without our help. We need to reach her!"

"People sure were lazy back in this time period."

"Tango sighted. Use of deadly force permitted."

"We're only supposed to stop a time-traveling death golem from reshaping history. No rush or anything..."

"We need air support."

"We need to keep moving!"

"Weapons free!"
