The Discovery Of LIM
Allen:
"Oppy? Oppy!"
Oppy:
"Did it work? What's the energy output?"
Oppy:
"Damn it Allen, I'm fine. That light nearly blinded me. Can you read it?"
Allen:
"Yeah. Let me see. 500 kilojoules? Oppy, what is this?"
Oppy:
"The future. I call it: "LIM waves"."
Allen & Oppy
Allen:
"Coffee delivery."
Oppy:
"Oh, Allen. Gosh. Is it that time already?"
Allen:
"So, about leaving ARDA. I was thinking, how about by Christmas?"
Oppy:
"Yes. Maybe. I just need to solve this instability issue. I loathe to think about leaving the Olympic Peninsula like this."
Allen:
"There's always more to do."
Oppy:
"I know, I'm sorry."
Allen:
"And I love you for it. I'm just wondering if you'll really be able to walk away from all this? It's okay if you can't."
Oppy:
"You abandoned the world to work here beside me. Fair's fair."
Allen:
"LIM tech is a world-changing discovery. Your world-changing discovery. Fairness isn't even a consideration."
Oppy:
"We agreed to have children. And I'm not having them in this hellhole."
Allen:
"Good. Because I'd love to have eight."
Oppy:
"Then I hope you're ready to carry at least half of those yourself."
Allen:
"I love you."
Oppy:
"I love you."
Stay Here With Me
Francis:
"Tobias? The movers are here. Wait- why aren't you packed?"
Tobias:
"I ain't going."
Francis:
"The evacuation orders-"
Tobias:
"The evacuation orders can go to hell. We leave, and we never see the inside of these Walls again. All the things we've been investigating: the Ripple, the echoes from the swamp. They'll all fade away."
Tobias:
"I'm going to stay and chase down these stories, wherever they take me."
Francis:
"Tobias, I-"
Tobias:
"Stay here. With me."
Guilty
Francis:
"You here to gloat?"
Oppy:
"I'm here to deliver the committee's decision. You have been found guilty of doctoring experimental data. This action is in clear violation of ARDA's scientific integrity. Judgement has been rendered. You may stay and work, but your clearance will be lowered to Level Three."
Francis:
"So I'm to be a glorified flask cleaner."
Oppy:
"Take it as a win. You could've been court-martialed instead."
Francis:
"I'm sure you would've like that much better."
Oppy:
"What I like has no bearing on this decision. See you on Monday, Dr. Cooke."
Tobias' Goodbye
Oppy:
"Driver! Driver! Do yo read me?"
Francis:
"Driver, you passed through some sort of opening- we managed to hold it steady. But the energy expulsion is growing. we don't have much longer."
Oppy:
"If you can hear this, you need to get back. Now!"
Tobias:
"Hey look. The gang's back together."
Francis:
"Tobias?"
Tobias:
"I never told you how grateful I was that you stayed behind in the Zone with me."
Tobias:
"These years. The best of my life."
Tobias:
"Foraging for mushrooms, slogging through swamplands, combing through hours and hours of terrible field recordings."
Tobias:
"Not a single moment wasted."
Tobias:
"Thank you. For everything."
Francis:
"It was all you."
Francis:
"You made me feel capable. That anything was possible. That I wasn't some second-rate scientist."
Francis:
"All my happiness was thanks to you. And I'm afraid..."
Francis:
"I'm afraid of how I'll survive without you."
Tobias:
"I'm not. You got this. You always have."
Tobias:
"Hey, Oppy. Allen sends his regards. And he wants to know why you haven't taken his advice yet."
Gumberoo
The following dialogue can be obtained if the Driver has the In Memoriam bobblehead equipped whilst completing the End of the Road mission.
Tobias:
"And Driver? Is that a Gumberoo on your dash? Well, I'll be damned."
Until Next Time
Tobias:
"Bye. Until next time."
Francis:
"Tobias? Tobias!"
