There is a smattering of text decodable from the dialogue files that does not seem to appear anywhere in-game, including descriptions for cut mechanics. These are cut from the dumped script.
PETRA
Well then let her FATHER
serve as an example!
This happens every day!
<Name Missing>
Bring it to Elro .
Ivory batteries are what the
people outside City 1 have
to get Holy permission to
use in order to have power
in their homes.
Ivory grows harder to get.
Exchange this for an Ivory
Battery in the Church .
Ivory slips are granted
regularly to countryside
people. If they behave well
they may get more, or be
deprived of one if they don't.
Ivory grows harder to get.
<Name Missing>
They say the highly peculiar Angrock can only
be broken by a firm stomping by jumping with and
then pressing while holding in mid-air .
<Name Missing, During Laurie Letter Quest>
Bring it to Laurelai's friend in
House 10 in Settlement 17 .
Is that romance I smell?
<Name Missing>
The charging of guns is
prohibited! Last time someone
charged a gun it killed another
person way more than necessary
<Name Missing, Seems like a note from the developer to himself>
There's still floor missing here! I've been
having to grab the moving nut with a
wrench, not pressing forward after I do
to hang onto it, then press Forward, Jump
or Down to get off! Fix this!
CHEMICO CONTRA
If you gather as much as you
can for us, it could greatly aid
mankind finding new, more
efficient power sources!
CHEMICO CONTRA
Some may even complete current
research and give you Powerups !
Not me, though. 'Been slacking.
MINA
I won't stay here.
MINA
I'll follow every damn
sepian hair strand of
that agent I can find!
MINA
Pick one...
Don't go!
Be careful!
MINA
Are you suggesting I just sit
around here and wait?
MINA
Look, I get it, you don't know
her, but you don't understand.
MINA
Of course I will.
MINA
It's not a choice for me!
MINA
I can find the agent's trail
without finding the agent.
MINA
At least that agent
is afraid now!
MINA
I'm getting some things
from home, and then I'm
going after her! !
<Name Missing>
Contains some of Mina's clothes .
She left this suitcase behind
when she left Isilugar Town.
They're not really your type.
---
<Removed Item Description for RSVP>
Deliver this to some soldiers
not attempting to shoot you ,
I guess...
MINA
Mom always says she worries
I'm turning into my father.
MINA
She seemed to imply he just got bored of
life and walked out on the two of us ...
That was before we were in
any underwater town.
MINA
"I set out to make this map.
Humanity will get to see their
world, and get perspective.
It will be and must be perfect."
ELRO
You act like you think
I would be shocked.
I already think they're sinister.
ELRO
You're just trying to upset me.
Calm down.
MINA
Don't you tell me!
ELRO
The One Concern has been pushing
the scripture more than usual on
us country people, it kinda makes
it a daily business.
ELRO
Dunno why they do, though ...
MINA
Why didn't you tell me before, then?!
ELRO
I don't know, I don't investigate!
It's just what's been making more sense.
If I wanted to investigate, I'm a One
Concern employee, so they check me
out more.
MINA
Is it his posture that's worth Samba?
Is it watching his pretty powers that's
worth people's safety?!
ELRO
... I just want to be able to not ...
think all the time
HIDING GIRL1
What have I done?!
HIDING GIRL1
My hedonistic thoughts and curiosities
got me to this dank and dirty
place! Is this "the outdoors"?
It's as horrible as the scriptures say!
HIDING GIRL1
Now I am too frightened to even
return!
The Silver Watchman will have
me thrashed!
BLACK
A big difference is you're
watched with eyes of contempt
as your vision fades.
MINA
But I think I need to
say something to you.
SAMBA
Fine! Outside!
<From research notes>
How can grass be grass, and then
the next moment a body of water?
POLRO
Sometimes it's easier not to think.
POLRO
You are special. I want you to be
better than I am.
POLRO
Help people with what you have.
Love others and they'll love you.
POLRO
Put the needs of others first.
That's something I've been
unable to do.
POLRO
I feel there is happiness there.
If you just help, things will turn
out well.
POLRO
It would make me happy.
MYRON
These planet spines, below our feet!
Those that carry the reprehensible creations
that destroy lands and homes.
ROYAL
The Penance are protectors of salvation,
guarding people that have to reside near
those who sin! Do not slander them!
MYRON
I've become cognizant of many things.
One of these being rural residences have
only been founded on spines known to
the Concern!
ROYAL
Well, of course, otherwise
people could not be punished.
MYRON
Perhaps you were right,
you are indeed special.
MYRON
These spines. They exist to define
the shape of this planet. It seems
Ivory depletion has made them act
unbecoming.
ROYAL
That's not the purpose of the Penance! !
MYRON
They obstruct my work! They make invalid
decades of cartography, by reshaping
the lands.
ROYAL
It's a ritual, not execution! !
MYRON
Clodpole.
ROYAL
Varmint!
MYRON
Gander.
ROYAL
Whatever ... guy! !
MYRON
I have seen much in my excursions!
Sentience that is not part of
anybody's scripture!
MYRON
Not the ancestors of the Isi,
not the doctrine of Mother.
MYRON
You likely could not affect that beast
because its control of Ivory outdoes
your own.
MYRON
I have a theory that this planet
was built. What you have power
over is synthetic!
ROYAL
You are completely mad!
ROYAL
So, who made the machine, then?!
MYRON
Well, I do not know that!
Isn't that exciting?
ROYAL
So what's even your point?!
ROYAL
Someone created this planet?
Yes, in fact, He did! For us!
ROYAL
This was our lovingly crafted home,
made to save us, after the demise
of the world from the Precedes!
MYRON
That legend tells of a world that
turned to dust. Matter, deprived
of Ivory, turns to dust.
MYRON
What does humanity deserve?
ROYAL
That's YOUR attitude!
ROYAL
This planet has more Ivory in it
than any nearby thing in space!
It generates new Ivory at
incredible pace!
This worls is a miracle!
ROYAL
Like the moons ! They lack
the Spines , as you say, and
they have worse existances
for it!
MYRON
So the One Concern DOES
research the moons!
MYRON
Then, indeed, the Concern Ivory
these days is likely lunar!
ROYAL
......
MYRON
How much do our two peoples truly value
the revitalizing powers of this
planet, if they've broken that power
through so much mining that one
needs to go elsewhere?
ROYAL
This isn't a machine, damnit! !
You don't "break" our holy planet!
It will revive after its rebirth
by Nimbus' return!
MYRON
Is this another one of
your dogmas?
MYRON
The effectiveness of Ivory
likely still makes your rocket
launches viable for that, still!
How ... fascinating!
MINA
Maybe you need a faith that's not
so ridiculously strict!
<Missing Name>
We need the engineers back in here.
The materials provided will attach the
foundation of the new floor at an angle!
We can't attach the floor's foundation
until this has been fixed, damnit!
BLACK
"I can't use my powers here!
The evil demons must be
fiddling with my veins! "
BLACK
"Yes, that's it."
MINA
You didn't.
I'm not sure
how to feel ...
MINA
You're somethin' else, Robin.
I think your kindness and
attempts at empathy could
screw with things, though.
MINA
You relocked the doors on her, huh?
She'll get out.
TOLO
Ha-HAH!
This is just
amazing!
TOLO
Everything just falls into
your favor, general!
It's destiny!
TOLO
With Royal being a sinner,
it could only mean
this is all for you!
BLACK
Humans need someone who cares and
keeps them straight, or they become
invisible, or they become mad
CHEMICO CONTRA
It shouldn't be my business to
share family secrets, but his
principles are damaging.
Sorry if that offends you.
CHEMICO CONTRA
Do you want to hear why
Elro is being hunted?
CHEMICO CONTRA
Do you... ? Yes.
No.
CHEMICO CONTRA
... Really? Are you sure?
CHEMICO CONTRA
Consider... Tell me.
Don't tell.
CHEMICO CONTRA
Hrm, alright. I can't insist.
CHEMICO CONTRA
Alright. It was a couple weeks ago ...
CHEMICO CONTRA
Among many things,
Elro was upset about
your father, Polro ...
CHEMICO CONTRA
I ... I feel he needs a lot
of help to be honest.
MINA
Your brother is ... quite something.
I hope you're okay.
MINA
Suddenly, the gods are mortal, huh?
ROYAL
Oh. Strange.
I had a feeling he was
missing parts before.
ROYAL
This is it. We are here.
We are going to Him .
MINA
I was kind of trying to be on
this personl "world quest", looking
for ways to counter the Concern.
ROYAL
It's just being depleted faster than
it regenerates, still.
Mostly due to YOUR people harvesting
Ivory from nearer the planet core!
MINA
"Need stealth", my ass
ELITE
Watch out for softlocks.
ELITE
This game is too linear for skips.

Pick one...
I have it!
I don't wanna...
CHEMICO CONTRA
Allright! Let's do SCIENCE!

Oh, right, you had
some data before, butt!
