Lin: There are ten levels to the shelter. They're all clear.	Lin: All ten levels of the nuclear shelter are clear. No sign of the enemy.
Brenner: How about the medical facilities?	O'Brian: And how are the medical facilities looking?
Will: The medical bay's in D Block, Sector 1, sir!	Ed: Sector 1 Block D is a dedicated medical bay!
Lin: It's filled with antiviral medicines and the latest medical equipment. The government spared no expense in its preparations to safeguard the political elite.	Lin: It is well-stocked with anti-viral vaccines and a wide range of other medicies. The Laurentian government spared no expense in equipping this place...
Brenner: I hear you, Lin. Now let's get Isabella and the rest of the civilians in here. On the double!	O'Brian: Then let's get the rear-guard units to bring Catleia and the other civilians here.
Will: Right away, sir!	Ed: Yes, Captain!
Rubinelle: Captain! The rear guard's under attack! Looks like those raiders are back again!	Laurentian: Captain, we have received a report from the rear-guard units. Those bandits are attacking again!
Brenner: What? Someone want to explain how they snuck up on us?	O'Brian: Again?! How did they sneak up on us without us noticing?
Lin: I...I don't know, sir. They didn't appear on radar...	Lin: We don't know. The radars showed nothing...
Brenner: That's just great! What are you standing around for? Let's move!	O'Brian: All units prepare for battle!

Civilian: It's those raiders! We're done for! They'll kill us all!	Civilian: Th-They're back! We're done for! They'll kill us all!
Rubinelle: Calm down! Just follow the evacuation procedures we practiced. Do as you were told, and you'll get out of this just fine.	Laurentian: Calm down! Just follow the evacuation procedures we showed you... In the event of a serious attack, you will be able to escape safely.
Isabella: Unnnhhhh...	Catleia: ... ... ... ...
Dr. Morris: It's all right, Isabella. Try thinking of something pleasant. That should help. When I'm stressed, I think of my lab. And perhaps some nice rats or robots!	Dr Moritz: Catleia, you've been through a lot. Try to think of something you enjoy. For me, thinking of being in my lab with my rats always calms me down.
Isabella: I-I'm OK... If we never give up...	Catleia: I-I'm okay. We must never give up...
Dr. Morris: Yes, of course. We must never give up. That's the key. Of course, some reinforcements would help raise my spirits, but...	Dr Moritz: You're right, of course. We can't give up hope. But I must confess, I'm not exactly optimistic about things right now...
The Beast: GYAAARRR! Ungyaahh...graar... Gwar har har! GYAAARRR!	Drakov: Gaargh! Grrraaah! Har-har-har!!! Gaaaaaarrrrgh!
Will: The raiders are closing in on the civilians! They're going to attack!	Ed: The bandits are closing in on the civilians! They're going to attack!
The Beast: GYAAARRR! Civilians? You're worried about them? Gwar har har! That settles it! KILL 'EM ALL!! War lesson number one, punk! NEVER CARE! GYAAARRR!!	Drakov: Gaaaaaarrrgh! You're worried about those civilians? Any friend of yours is an enemy of mine! We'll show no mercy! Har-har-har!!! Prepare for the end! Gaaaaaarrrrgh!
Will: Leave them alone! They're not soldiers! THEY'RE CIVILIANS!	Ed: Stop! They're not involved in this! Leave the civilians in peace!
The Beast: It doesn't matter! They're weak! They're defenseless! They're the perfect prey, and that's why they're gonna bleed!	Drakov: Do you think we're following rule book here? Har-har-har!!! Those civilians helped you and they are going to pay for it! Gaargh!
Will: But why? Why would you... I'm not letting you touch them! We're going to stop you!	Ed: Why...you... I won't let it happen! We're going to stop you!
The Beast: Gwar har har! I'd like to see you try! Do your worst! GYAAARRR!! GYAAARRR! YES! YES! YES! First blood to The Beast! Take them all! Don't let them die easily!	Drakov: Har-har-har!!! I'd like to see you try! Gaaaaaarrrrgh! Come on! Har-har-har!!! How'd you like that? There's more where that came from! The civilians don't have a hope! It's all over for them! Gaaaarrrrgh!
Will: NOOOO! Get out of there! Do you read?! You have to evacuate now! Dr. Morris? Isabella? Please, someone answer me! You've got to get out of there! Hello? Is anyone there?	Ed: They have to get out of there! Can you hear me? Begin evacuation procedures! I repeat... Begin evacuation procedures! Dr Mortiz! Catleia! Answer me! You have to get out of there!
The Beast: Gwar har har! They're all dead, punk! Your pretty little girlfriend too! You couldn't save 'em. How's it taste? Burns, doesn't it?	Drakov: Har-har-har!!! It's too late for them! You're wasting your breath! And now that we've taken care of them, it's your turn!
Will: WHY? Why did you do that? There was no reason...	Ed: B-But how? How could you do something like that?
The Beast: Reasons? I don't need reasons! I kill because I can! And now I'm gonna kill the rest so I can hear you cry some more. How's that sound? What's that? I can't HEEEEAAARRR you! C'mon, punk! Don't you have anything to say? I wanna hear you beg!	Drakov: Har-har-har!!! Because we can! They helped you out and we made them pay the price for it! And you couldn't do a thing to protect them! Har-har-har!!! How do you like that, boy?
Will: I...I want to kill you.	Ed: Y-You will pay for this! I'll make sure of that!
The Beast: You threatening me, boy?	Drakov: Are you threatening me?!
Will: You were right. I had no idea what war was really about. But I get it now. It's about anger and fear. It's about hate! My friends weren't looking to fight. They were innocent... You want to live like a beast? Fine! You can die like one too!	Ed: Everything you said was true. I didn't know what war really was... But now I do! You took innocent lives, and I will make you pay for it! I never wanted to fight before, but now I do - to rid the world of you. You must be punished!
The Beast: Gwar har har! Now you're talkin', punk! Now you're worth killing! GYAAARRR!	Drakov: Gaaaaaarrrrgh! You're all talk! Show me what you've got!

Lin: The wounded are in sick bay, sir. The civilians came through largely unharmed.	Lin: The casualties are currently being treated. The civilians came through largely unharmed.
Brenner: Where's Will?	O'Brian: Where's Ed?
Lin: He's with Isabella. Her condition has deteriorated badly. She was hurt in the skirmish, and the virus is continuing to develop.	Lin: He's with Catleia. Her condition has deteriorated badly. She was hurt in the battle, and the Floral Virus is continuing to develop.
Brenner: Will she make it?	O'Brian: Will she pull through?
Lin: It's touch and go. She's in Dr. Morris's hands now.	Lin: She has a 50/50 chance of surviving. We have to leave her to Dr Moritz.

Will: Come on, come on... What's taking so long?	Ed: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Dr. Morris: Will. You're still here? It's been hours.	Dr Moritz: Ed, you've been waiting there for hours...
Will: How is she, Doctor? Is Isabella all right?	Ed: Doctor, is Catleia okay?
Dr. Morris: I'm...I'm sorry, Will. Try and calm down, all right? I don't know if I'm the right person to tell you this, but...	Dr Moritz: I'm sorry, Ed... I don't know if I'm the right person to tell this to you...
Will: Oh no... Please, Dr. Morris! It can't be! It can't!	Ed: What?! You mean?! No! It's not possible!
Dr. Morris: Listen, I... No, I don't have the words... I think I'll leave it to Isabella to tell you how she's made a full recovery! Oh ho! Oh ho ho ho ho ho!	Dr Moritz: I don't think I'm the best person to say this... I just think you'd rather hear the news from Catleia herself! Ha ha ha!!!
Isabella: Will!	Catleia: Ed...
Will: Isabella!	Ed: Catleia!
Isabella: I'm going to be OK, Will. I owe it all to Dr. Morris's help and to everyone's kindness.	Catleia: I made a full recovery! I owe it all to the doctor's help and everyone's kindness.
Will: That's great news!	Ed: That's great news!
Isabella: It is, isn't it?	Catleia: I'm going to be fine...

Brenner: You're a real piece of work, Doc. Why didn't you just tell the boy she was better?	O'Brian: Dr Moritz, you should have just come straight out and told Ed she was better.
Dr. Morris: Come now, Captain! Where's the drama in that? Did you see the joy on Will's face? I felt like the director in one of those TV medical dramas. Oh ho ho!	Dr Moritz: Oh come on! I just wanted to make it a bit more dramatic, that's all! You have to admit that I really built up the suspense!
Brenner: Unbelievable...	O'Brian: You're really unbelievable...
Lin: May I assume Isabella's no longer contagious?	Lin: So there is no risk of infection from her?
Dr. Morris: You may. The virus incorporated the nucleoside analogues into its genomes, halting its life--	Dr Moritz: Right. All malignant traces of the virus have left the patient's system, meaning...
Brenner: Stop! Is she OK or isn't she?	O'Brian: Meaning she's okay?
Dr. Morris: You are a most impatient man, Captain. Yes, yes, she's fine. Although I must confess I had my doubts there for a while. She was on the verge of death, and then... Something changed within her system. While I was recovering from my surprise... Voila! I can offer you no explanation for it.	Dr Moritz: Yes, to put it simply! I must confess, it was touch and go there for a while. I thought she might not make it. But her body fought back against the virus. It was almost as if she chose life... I was astonished by the speed of her recovery. Truly extraordinary...
Brenner: Why not just call it a miracle? Sounds to me like Will's prayers were answered. That's all the explanation I need right there.	O'Brian: Sounds like a miraculous recovery! I guess Ed's prayers were answered...
Dr. Morris: I'm a man of science, Captain. Miracles are not something I deal in. However... Truth be told, I feel rather superfluous in that I truly did nothing to heal her. The one thing I can say for certain is that she's cured. So... Hip hip hoo-rah!	Dr Moritz: Well, as a doctor I can't accept such explanations, but who knows? I certainly can't take credit for her recovery. She did that herself. Anyway, all's well that ends well, right? Ha ha ha!!!

Nuclear Shelter Living Quarters#

Mayor: Where've you been, Brenner? I've been waiting to hear your report for hours!	Mayor: What have you been doing, O'Brian? Why didn't you report to me sooner?
Brenner: Calm down. Everything's fine. The girl made a full recovery.	O'Brian: Don't worry. Everything's fine. The girl made a full recovery...
Mayor: The girl? Who said anything about her? I want to know about the food! Is the factory in working order? Will we be able to grow crops?	Mayor: I couldn't care less about that! Tell us about the food situation! Have you found the Bio-Crops yet?
Brenner: Yes. That's what I've been told. You'll be happy to learn you don't need to worry about food anymore.	O'Brian: Yes, they have been located. You'll be happy to learn that they will be able to provide enough food for all of us.
Mayor: That...that is good news. Now, we've got some additional business to attend to... As the civilian represenative, there's something I need to discuss with you.	Mayor: Ah, I see... But actually, O'Brian... As the civilians' representative, I need to discuss something with you...
Brenner: Go on.	O'Brian: What's that?
Mayor: It's about this shelter. Do you think it can sustain this many people living here? We've assessed the situation and feel we need to cut our population roughly in half. There's--	Mayor: It's about this shelter. Can it really support this many people living here? We were thinking that half of the people currently here need to leave...
Brenner: You can't be serious. Do you realize how big this place is? There is more than enough room for all of us.	O'Brian: What?! That won't be necessary. This shelter has enough space for all of us.
Mayor: Listen, Brenner. This is the collective opinion of the entire civilian population, understand? And having soldiers living here is problematic as well. Are we supposed to live in fear of being attacked?	Mayor: O'Brian, you don't understand. I am speaking on behalf of the entire civilian population. And on top of that, we feel that having soldiers here causes a lot of problems... We don't want to get caught up in your fighting anymore. We've all had enough.
Brenner: Is there a point to all this?	O'Brian: Get to the point, Mayor!
Mayor: You're soldiers. You have the weapons and training to survive anywhere. But we civilians are powerless. This shelter is our only chance for survival. We believe the solution is clear. Am I right, everyone? Shall we vote and decide like civilized men?	Mayor: O'Brian, your Legion has weapons and military training. You can survive anywhere. But we are helpless. We won't be able to survive outside the safety of the shelter. The question is, who should remain here? We believe the answer is clear... What do you think, everyone? How about putting it to the vote and deciding democratically?
Lin: That's not a reasonable proposition. In terms of numbers, you civilians have an overwhelming majority. Additionally, a large number of our people are incapacitated by their wounds. Would you use that to your advantage? Is that the type of people we're dealing with?	Lin: That's not reasonable. You and the other civilians form the overwhelming majority. You must also factor in those troops who are too injured to be involved in any vote. To make use of that to boost your majority is dishonourable in the extreme.
Mayor: How disrespectful! I'm not trying to set up a dictatorship! This new world should be built on democracy. One person, one vote! That's what I say! Or would you rather threaten us with your guns and bully us into submission?	Mayor: Are you not listening to me? I am not deciding anything... I am merely saying that the only way to decide is democratically. One person, one vote! What is your alternative? You think because you are armed, you can push us around?
Brenner: ... ... ... ...	O'Brian: ... ... ... ...
Lin: OK, yeah. I'm comfortable with that.	Lin: Who is pushing who around?!
Brenner: Stand down, Lin.	O'Brian: Lin, calm down.
Mayor: Very well, then. We vote, and majority rules. Does that sound fair to everyone? All in favor of having the soldiers leave the shelter, raise their hands. ...Come on! Lets see hands!	Mayor: So, it's decided. We vote and the majority rules. Does that sound fair to everyone? Hands up who wants the soldiers to leave the shelter! Come on, let's see your hands!
Civilian: I don't think so.	Civilian: ... ... ... ...
Youth: Me either.	Youth: ... ... ... ...
Mayor: Wh-what are you doing? Get your hands up! I gave you the plan! Now do as I told you!	Mayor: Come on! What's the matter?! Why...?! Come on! Do as I told you!
Woman: But...they fought for us. They risked their lives for us.	Woman: These people fought for us! They risked their lives for us!
Youth: Some of them...died for us. We can't just throw them out of here.	Youth: Some of their comrades didn't make it back from the battle. And you want us to throw them out?
Woman: I want them to stay.	Woman: I want to live here alongside these soldiers!
Civilian: I'll second that!	Civilian: Me too!
Brenner: You listening, Mayor?	O'Brian: Are you listening, Mayor?
Lin: It would appear we have a clear majority.	Lin: It looks like we have a clear result...
Mayor: B-b-but, how can you...? Wh-what are you thinking?! Fine! Do as you please! I don't care!	Mayor: B-B-But how can you...? Wh-What are you thinking?! Alright! Do as you please! I don't care!
Brenner: Thank you, everyone. You have my gratitude. As you know, my people and I have been on search and rescue 24-7 since the meteors struck. But most of the folks we've "saved" didn't last too long after the fact... To be honest, there've been times when I've questioned the value of what we're doing. But knowing that you understand makes it all worthwhile. Thank you.	O'Brian: I am grateful to all of you. Since the meteor strikes, I have devoted myself to helping the survivors. Perhaps most of the people we helped did not survive for long after that... ...and there have been times I have questioned the value of what I am doing. But listening to all of you, I now know that it was worth it. Thank you all.
Lin: Well said, Captain.	Lin: Captain O'Brian...

Will: So we're going to stay here for a while. There's plenty of food, and there's safety in numbers.	Ed: So we'll be able to stay here together for the time being. There is plenty of food. We are safe...
Isabella: We can stay here together? Me too? I...I had nothing. I didn't know where I was or what I should do. I didn't even know my own name. Yet you took me in and cared for me, and now you say I can live here with you. Are you sure? Is it truly all right?	Catleia: We can stay here together...? I had nothing... I didn't who I was... I didn't know where I had been... And yet, you let me join you and now you say I can live together with all of you. Is it really okay?
Will: Of course! And now that you've recovered from the virus, I'm sure you'll get your memory back.	Ed: Of course. You recovered from the virus, and you will get your memory back soon!
Isabella: Perhaps... But I really don't need my memory back. I'm fine not knowing what happened before.	Catleia: I believe you. But I don't need my memory back... All I need to know is that I am here, with all of you...
Will: Really? But...	Ed: But without memories...
Isabella: You've given me all the memories I need. I'll never forget the kindness you've shown.	Catleia: You have already given me so many wonderful memories. I will treasure them. I will never forget all you have done, and all you have taught me.
Will: Isabella, listen. I want to... ...Um, Lieutenant? Are you... Lin? Hello?	Ed: Catleia... Er... First Lieutenant Lin, are you here by any chance?
Lin: Yes?	Lin: How did you know?
Will: GYAA! How do you do that? And why are you eavesdropping on our conversations?	Ed: I just had this feeling you were here. Why did you feel the need to eavesdrop?
Lin: Are you talking about something you don't want me to hear?	Lin: Do you have a problem with that? Is there something I shouldn't hear?
Will: Well, no, but... That's not the point! It was a private conversation, and--	Ed: No, of course not... But it was a private conversation...
Lin: Whatever. Captain Brenner sent me. We're to report to A Block immediately. If we're going to be living here, we need to set up rules and regulations.	Lin: I've got orders from Captain O'Brian. Everyone must report to Block A immediately. If we're going to live here, there's a lot that needs to be discussed...
Will: Fine. We'll be right there. C'mon Isabella. It's time to go!	Ed: Understood! I'm on my way. Let's go Catleia!
Isabella: Yes, sir!	Catleia: Yes, sir!
