Overview

When returning to the Auto Shop from a run, dialogue from Oppy, Tobias or Francis may play. The type of dialogue depends on whether the run was successful or a failure, what mission the player is up to and may also depend on the conditions encountered in the Zone during the run.

Mission specific return dialogue is recorded in Transmissions.

Oppy

For most of the game's storyline, Oppy's dialogue will trigger when returning to the Auto Shop. Her dialogue will not play between completing The Mid-Zone Crossing mission and The Visions mission due to being upset with Tobias and Francis for hijacking "her mission" and tapping into her frequency.Reference: You Did It After completing The Visions mission her dialogue will return to triggering after completing a run. Her dialogue will no longer play after completing the mission The End of the Road due to her choosing to leave the Zone for good.

Dialogue Lines

Oppy's Dialogue Lines
Dialogue Line Conditions for Obtaining
Aw, cute. I think the radiation has a crush on you, the way it chases you around. Die due to radiation
Do be careful around those Tourists. They always try to hitchhike during the most inopportune moment. TBD
Getting cozy with those helpful Anomalies, aren't you? Just don't go about inviting them back to the Auto Shop. TBD
Give the Bunnies a chance. They're kind of cute once you get over the whole life-threatening part. TBD
I don't say this often. But no, I don't know where those Titan's Bones come from, and I don't want to. TBD
Those Titan's Bones. They really make you wonder what's going on beneath the surface, don't they? TBD
In case I wasn't clear, you should avoid the spiky objects. TBD
My goodness, where are the Zone's manners? Sometimes she spits up a surprise or two, and it results in a horrible, horrible death. But she doesn't mean it that way, you know? TBD
Not a fan of the Bunnies, are we? TBD
Nothing like a good Tourist Trap to keep things interesting, huh? TBD
Repeat after me: avoid the Wriggling Wrecks. TBD
So, you've met some of the good Anomalies out there. Not all of them are bad guys. Just most of them. TBD
The Crawlers. Vicious little buggers. TBD
The Honeypot strikes again. She's good at what she does. TBD
The Swarmers are hard to resist, I know. Or is it them that can't resist you? TBD
The Swarmers just love you, don't they? TBD
The Tourists are bad enough, but those Tour Buses? Those'll ruin your day. TBD
There was a mechanic long ago who used to breed those Beating Heart Anomalies. He put them to work in his Auto Shop. It worked, for some time, until they ate him alive. But anyway, have fun with those. TBD
Tourists. They ruin everything, don't they? TBD
Usually, when things are spiky, you shouldn't drive over them. TBD
We call those things Tourists. But I've always preferred Murderquins. TBD
Couldn't resist that Honeypot, huh? I don't blame you. TBD
Yes, sometimes it does feel like the radiation follows you around, doesn't it? Die due to radiation
Ah, hurricane-force winds without the hurricanes. So much fun. TBD
Are you going to let the Zone push you around like that? TBD
Don't be such a pushover. When the Zone shoves you around, you give it a shove right back. TBD
If I could figure out why the gravity gets so wobbly around these parts, the things I could invent, I tell you. TBD
Sometimes it's a stiff breeze off the Pacific Ocean. Other times, it's the Zone throwing another one of her famous tantrums. TBD
The Zone could've had normal rain, but how much fun would that have been? TBD
The Zone really outdid itself with the acid storms, don't you think? I mean, the Pacific Northwest is famous for its rain, so why not ratchet it up a little? TBD
Think of this way: if you're going to die from lightning, it might as well be fun lightning. TBD
We love a good gravity snare, do we not? TBD
The answer is no. We couldn't just have normal lightning bolts here. No, we had to have localized chain lighting balls that terrorize the very ground you walk on. TBD
Another day, another bobblehead. TBD
Another hood ornament for the collection? TBD
Of all the incredibly useful materials out there, you decide to bring back paint. TBD
There's not a paint color in the world that'll hide what you're doing to that poor car. But you're welcome to try, by all means. TBD
You can slap on as many decals as you want. It's not going to make you drive any better. TBD
You found another bobblehead? Might as well collect them all, I suppose. TBD
Hell of a place, the Deep Zone. Not one to be taken lightly. TBD
One good thing about LIM warping the Peninsula, it got rid of all the mosquitoes. Then again, it was bit of a crapshoot. Either we killed them all or they grew ten times in size. TBD
The Deep Zone. Not a journey I’ll ever make again in this lifetime, but still. It would be nice to see home again. TBD
Careful sticking your hand down those pneumatic tubes. Sometimes they get hungry. TBD
Collecting Quirks out there, are we? I guess that's one way to entertain yourself. TBD
Did you drive into a storm? Do you enjoy feeling your bones separated from your body? TBD
The more Quirks, the merrier, huh? TBD
Those pneumatic tubes. Great little mail system. Not ideal indoors though; the Anomalies do love to make nests out of them. TBD
You spend any longer in the storm, you’ll soon learn what it’s like to have every bone separated from your body. TBD
Well, well. You got back with all four doors intact. I suppose we'll call that progress. TBD
A little elbow grease and that car’ll be as good as new. TBD
Don't even think about bringing an Anomaly back to the garage. Someone tried to start a petting zoo once and, well, let's just say we don't go to that part of the Zone anymore. TBD
It's a really good thing I never kept any mirrors in that garage. Better not to know if you've been teleported with your head on backwards. Return to the Auto Shop, either by dying or through a gateway.
Oh, there you are. And here I was enjoying all that peace and quiet. TBD
You know, interesting thing about those Anchor plugs. They use LIM technology to stake down pockets of stability in an area. Basically, they delay how quickly you're turned into Swiss cheese out there. TBD
You know, once upon a time, I thought I'd be able to solve the instability issue. The solution was within my grasp. But that's ancient history now. Die in the Zone (Note: Further testing needed to see if this line can play after a successful run)
You're playing chicken with the Zone. This won't work in your favor. But by all means, give it a shot. TBD
I don't know if I'd call that dumb luck or sheer stupidity, but you made it. So good job, I guess. TBD
Alright, Driver. Stop showing off before you get yourself killed. TBD
Limping past the finish line, aren’t you? Maybe you ought to give that car a face lift before heading back out. TBD
Cutting it awfully close there. But you made it. TBD
Do be nice to that car, won't you? Before it decides to stop saving you from yourself. TBD
Looks like you're getting the hang of the Deep Zone. TBD
How's the Deep Zone looking these days? It used to be the most beautiful part of the Peninsula. TBD
How are the swamps of the Mid-Zone treating you? TBD
First the forest, and now the swamp. Quite the Zone tour. TBD
That was a long trek. Make sure to wash all that Zone goo off. TBD
Hell of a journey there. Hope you brought back some goodies. TBD
Quite a collection you've brought back. Anything fun to tinker with? TBD
Nice haul. Put it to good use. TBD
Nice work making use of those Stabilizers. I love a good shortcut. TBD
A few more drives like that and maybe you'll stop dying so much, huh? TBD
You better not be tracking all that Zone goo into my garage. TBD
What do you know? You made it back. Wasn’t too sure for a moment there. TBD
We never came up with a way to harness those storms. Imagine if we could. The sheer power of those things. TBD
The Remnant. We're so close to figuring it all out. TBD
That was quite the ride. Enjoy yourself out there? TBD
Quite the road trip there. What did you find? TBD
Oh, you’re back from your joyride. Drive off any cliffs this time? TBD
No, no. That thing you saw was not Bigfoot. Never was, never will be. Don't let Tobias and Francis fill your head with that nonsense. TBD
Nice work out there. TBD
Never a dull moment in the Zone, huh? Return to the Auto Shop, either by dying or through a gateway.
My my, what's this? Are you learning a thing or two? My dear newbie, there's hope for you yet. TBD
Looks like you're getting the hang of things. Well, once you get that unfortunate driving under control. TBD
How'd the Zone treat you this time? TBD
I'm marginally impressed. Not bad, newbie. TBD
Have a nice field trip? TBD
Good. You're back safe. TBD
ARDA was not a fan of my Gateway theory. I can’t imagine why. It’s just shooting things up into the oscillosphere and back. No big deal. TBD
You sure took your time out there. TBD
All 10 fingers and toes accounted for? Don't just count them. You've got to check and make sure you didn't bring back any toe-hands. TBD
Allen would've gotten a kick out of that car. TBD
Aren’t my Gateways beautiful? I’ll never get sick of them. TBD
Back already? TBD
Bring back anything good this time? TBD
Find anything useful out there? TBD
You made it. Color me surprised. TBD
...the car was last pinged at- you’re back at the garage? How could that be? Oh. The car got you back somehow? Very, very interesting. I’ll have to observe this further. Line plays after the player's first death in the save.
The civilians called those monstrosities storms. In actuality, they’re the transition between the stability that keeps you alive, and the instability that morphs your brain into a tree faster than you can blink. Avoid it, at all costs. Die in an instability storm.
I know those storms look awfully pretty, but you understand by now that they mean certain death, right? Die in an instability storm.
Do those storms look fun to you? Because they're not. I assure you. Die in an instability storm.
I'm sorry, was I unclear? About how storms will always, always kill you? Die in an instability storm.
No, no, you should try to avoid storms. Not barrel straight into them. Kids these days. Die in an instability storm.
You sure you’ve got the right equipment to survive out there? I’d give that car another once-over, if I were you. TBD
You have driven a car before, haven't you? Just curious. TBD
Tune up that car and get back out there. TBD
Let's try keeping the car in one piece next time, shall we? Die and return with the car in the red on the damage indicator (Note: Further testing needed to see if this line plays on a successful run with car damage indicator in the red.)
Just because the car’s protecting you doesn’t mean you should drive like that. TBD
How that car's still running in the Zone's beyond me. Especially with the way you drive it. Die and return with the car in the red on the damage indicator (Note: Further testing needed to see if this line plays on a successful run with car damage indicator in the red.)
Maybe that car of yours needs some work. An upgrade or facelift, maybe. TBD
No matter how poorly you treat that car, it brings you back over and over again. Fascinating. Die and return with the car in the red on the damage indicator (Note: Further testing needed to see if this line plays on a successful run with car damage indicator in the red.)
This is an exclusion zone, not a race track. Control yourself out there. Reach a specific top speed during a run. Speed threshold TBD. (In editor Sunlight Sagittarius' testing 96mph was the top speed for the run where this line played upon return)
I don’t want to assume anything, but you do know that tires are necessary, right? TBD
Fun fact: wheels have been used for over 4,000 years. But apparently you think you're above all that and don't need them? TBD
Apparently you forgot that car runs on gas, not hopes and dreams. TBD
Running on fumes there, newbie. TBD
You didn’t expect the Deep Zone to let you off easy, did you? TBD
Sink or swim, newbie. TBD
You trying to get a tan or something? Stay out of that radiation. Die due to radiation
You ever consider not standing around in the radiation? Just a thought. Die due to radiation
I know the Bunnies look cute, but stop trying to pet them. TBD
Beware the Bunnies. It's a lesson we all learn the hard way. TBD
Don’t worry, newbie. The Bunnies have taken a bite out of the best of us. TBD
Dying from radiation and Anomalies isn't enough for you? Now you're testing falling to your death too? TBD
Yes, yes, gravity is the same here as the outside world. I admire the experimentation, though. TBD
Felt like taking a stroll, did you? Never a good idea in the Zone. Die outside of and away from the car
A bit accident-prone, aren't we? Die, no special requirements needed
You’re not giving up already, are you? Die, no special requirements needed
You're practically roadkill out there. Get it together. Die, no special requirements needed
You’re certainly testing the limits of that car. And my patience. TBD
You tuning up that car between drives? Die, no special requirements needed
You really tried there. Die, no special requirements needed
You do realize there's no hospitals here, right? So you should try to avoid dying out there. Die, no special requirements needed
When it comes to the Zone and her moods, we all learn the hard way. Die, no special requirements needed
Try, try again. Die, no special requirements needed
Thought you would've stopped doing that by now. Guess I expected too much. Die, no special requirements needed
The Zone's not likely to let up on you. Might be worth upgrading some parts on that car. Die, no special requirements needed
That one's going on your driving record. Die, no special requirements needed
That Zone's giving you hell. Better armor up that car to match. Die, no special requirements needed
Technically, that is the quickest way to get back. Die, no special requirements needed
Take care of that car. You need it. TBD
Let's get through this with a little more care, shall we? TBD
I really hope you didn't drive like that in the outside world. Die, no special requirements needed
I have to ask. You did have a driver’s license before this, right? Die, no special requirements needed
I admire a good death wish, but maybe, just maybe, try not to die. TBD
I admire a good experiment, really, I do. But maybe don't try that again? Die, no special requirements needed
Getting dangerous out there. TBD
Am I going to have to put some training wheels on for you? Die, no special requirements needed
Are you loading up on emergency supplies for those drives? It's rough out there. Die, no special requirements needed
Are you trying to not die? Or are you- nevermind. Die, no special requirements needed
Are you trying to survive here? Sometimes I just can't tell. Die, no special requirements needed
Bit of a daredevil, are we? You should know better than to test the Zone's limits. Die, no special requirements needed
Careful on those roads. We've already lost too much. TBD
Consider, perhaps, you know, staying alive next time? Die, no special requirements needed
Don't take it personally. The Zone tries to kill us all every few days. Just a way of life here. Die, no special requirements needed
Don't test the Zone. She'll always win. Die, no special requirements needed
Drive smarter, not faster. Die, no special requirements needed
Everything holding up over there? TBD
Fix whatever you broke and try again. Die, no special requirements needed
Got to learn how to navigate the Zone one way or another. Get back out there. Die, no special requirements needed
Not the field trip you were hoping for, I assume? Die, no special requirements needed
Not the peaceful Sunday drive you were hoping for, huh? Die, no special requirements needed
Not to be a backseat driver, but that wasn’t your finest hour. Die, no special requirements needed
Okay, in case I wasn't clear before, you should try to survive while you're out there. Die, no special requirements needed
That was certainly an attempt. Die, no special requirements needed
Getting a little cheeky out there, aren’t we? Die, no special requirements needed
You'll be dealing with far worse in the Zone. Better get used to it. Die, no special requirements needed

Tobias

Tobias has the least amount of return dialogue lines out of the three characters. They can only be triggered between completing The Mid-Zone Crossing mission and The Visions mission and during The Deep Zone Crossing mission.

Hey Driver, you alright? TBD
You alright there? It's wild out there in the Zone, huh? TBD
That car is one heck of a safety net. TBD
I just- I’m sorry, I got to know, what does it feel like when the car magically zaps you back to the garage? That’s got to be wild. TBD
That Gateway is so damn cool. TBD
You seeing these readings, Francis? Gateway opens like DABLABLA and the car goes POW, the sensors go BLBLBL, the oscillosphere, my favorite part- TBD
Just you, me, and Francis. Peaceful, ain’t it? TBD

Francis

Francis has some return dialogue lines that play throughout the story however most of his lines are only able to be triggered after completing the mission The End of the Road.

Dialogue Line Conditions for Obtaining
I know you're used to the radiation by now, but you should still avoid it where you can. TBD
Oh, you do not want to hear the theories about where the Tourists come from. You won't sleep for weeks. TBD
One of these days, I should tell you about the time Tobias found a Bunny nest and tried to raise them in our backyard. It didn't end well. TBD
Some people say those helpful Anomalies didn't start as Anomalies. Rather, they're people who got lost in the Zone, looking for a way back home. TBD
The Bunnies are always up to something, aren't they? TBD
Tourists. Tourists everywhere. TBD
You found the Honeypot? That's a lucky day. Those haunted cars are my favorite. TBD
You know, they say if you stand in the radiation long enough, you'll start to hear strange voices. And those voices say, "what are you doing standing in the radiation, get the heck out of there!" TBD
Got a bit windy out there, didn't it? TBD
That was no ordinary lightning that you saw out there. It's something else entirely. TBD
The great thing about acid storms? You'll know immediately where you've sprung a leak. TBD
I'm really hoping there's a Quirk out there that makes your car talk. Aren't you just dying to hear what it would say? TBD
Nice Quirk collection. Are you going for a record there? TBD
Any Gumberoo sightings out there? Or any fresh Sasquatch prints? Keep your eye out. Let me know! TBD
Never thought I’d say it, but I kind of wish Oppy was here to see this. Don’t you? TBD
Oh, you’re back! Don’t mind me. I'm just tinkering with a few things over here. TBD
You're back! Thank goodness. TBD
You’re free of the Remnant now, but you should still be careful. We have no idea what else is out there. TBD
You made it. You’re really putting that car through the wringer. But it’s tough. It can take it. TBD
Woah! Wow. That was close. TBD
That was a close one. TBD
That car's in bad shape. What were you doing out there? TBD
Shouldn't you be a little nicer to that car? It's done so much for you. TBD
You were gone for awhile. It got so quiet around here. TBD
You collected a lot out there. TBD
That was a long trip. You’re really getting the hang of the Zone. TBD
Hey, what did you find out there? Bet it's all the good stuff. TBD
Gosh. What a ride. I wish Tobias was here to see it. TBD
You're a regular pro out there now. TBD
You made it! I was getting worried. TBD
Welcome home. How was the drive? TBD
Welcome back. TBD
Those Gateways. They're terrifying, right? TBD
Soon enough, you'll know the Zone like the back of your hand. TBD
That Gateway still scares me. I don’t know how you do it. TBD
Someday, you've got to teach me how you do all that. TBD
Okay, okay! What’s next? TBD
Look at you! Taming the Zone now, are you? I like it. TBD
I’ll never get used to those storms. TBD
Driver, what happened to avoiding those storms? Not going into them. TBD
You’ve got to watch out for those Anomalies. TBD
Don't try making friends with the Anomalies. It doesn't work out too well. Believe me, Tobias and I tried. Several times. TBD
I have to ask. What does the inside of a storm look like? I mean, besides terribly painful? TBD
A bad fuse, maybe? Or hungry Bunny? TBD
There you are! Gosh, you had me worried. TBD
The car brought you back again. Thank goodness. TBD
If Oppy knew what you were doing out there, she’d give you an earful. TBD
I find the Zone to be a fickle mistress. She does exactly what she wants, and she doesn’t care about whether you survive her latest tantrum. TBD
Ouch! You alright? TBD
That's going to leave a mark. TBD
Are you okay? That had to hurt. TBD
Did the Sasquatch get you? Be careful. I know they're out there. TBD
Okay, I know that car’s gone through a lot. But maybe you should be more careful TBD
Having trouble? Maybe your car could use a tune-up? TBD
Nearly lost you out there. Oppy will never let me hear the end of it if I do. TBD
Wow! It got rough on that road. TBD
Hey. You okay? Be careful out there. TBD
