Harbourtown

• ???: HELLO, <PLAYER>.

• ???: SORRY, IS THIS TOO LOUD?

• ???: MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE EASIER FOR YOU.

• ???: I THOUGHT WE COULD PENCIL IN A QUICK MEETING.

If current partner is Kayleigh:

• Kayleigh: The triangle man! Who are you, and what do you want?

If current partner is Eugene:

• Eugene: You don’t scare me! Who are you?!

If current partner is Meredith:

• Meredith: Is this the same bloke who keeps appearing in the stations? Who are you, anyway?

If current partner is Felix:

• Felix: Hmm. This is a bit worrying. Who are you?

If current partner is Viola:

• Viola: What is this being?

If current partner is Barkley:

• Barkley: Arf!

• ???: AH - WHERE ARE MY MANNERS? I SHOULD INTRODUCE MYSELF.

• Player: Are you an Archangel?

• ???: ARCHANGEL! IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL US? HOW DELIGHTFUL!

• ???: AS FOR ME, PERSONALLY?

• ???: I’VE BEEN CALLED MANY THINGS BY YOUR KIND.

• ???: ARTHUR, ALEXANDER, AGAMEMNON…

• ???: ALAS, I AM ALEPH.

• ???: YOU CAN CALL ME AL.

If current partner is Kayleigh:

• Kayleigh: He sure is… polite.

If current partner is Eugene:

• Eugene: What’s with his “nice guy” act?

If current partner is Meredith:

• Meredith: He’s, uh, not what I expected.

If current partner is Felix:

• Felix: Nice to… meet you…?

If current partner is Viola:

• Viola: You want something from us – speak plainly!

If current partner is Barkley:

• Barkley: Grrrr...

• Aleph: I’VE BEEN PREOCCUPIED FOR SOME TIME BY AN OLD FRIEND. FORTUNATELY THAT “SITUATION” HAS BEEN RESOLVED NOW.

• Aleph: AND NOW I RETURN TO FIND OUT THIS WORLD HAS GATHERED MORE OF MY PEOPLE? MORE “ARCHANGELS”?

• Aleph: THESE ARE EXCITING TIMES INDEED, FRIENDS!

• Aleph: THE NEWCOMERS ARE WILD AND UNFOCUSED, BUT I SEE MUCH POTENTIAL IN THEM.

• Aleph: SO I MUST ASK THAT YOU DON’T ATTEMPT TO INTERVENE IN MY TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISE.

• Aleph: IN FACT, I MUST REQUEST THAT YOU CEASE SEARCHING FOR MY PEERS ENTIRELY.

(Choice between "But the Archangels are the key to leaving New Wirral!" and "I need to find them in order to leave this island!")

• Aleph: OH!

• Aleph: YOU JUST WANT TO LEAVE?

• Aleph: YES, I CAN SEND YOU AWAY FROM HERE!

• Aleph: THE ONLY THING I CAN’T WARP IS ME! A MIRROR DOESN’T REFLECT ITSELF...

If current partner is Kayleigh:

• Kayleigh: I don’t like the sound of this...

If current partner is Eugene:

• Eugene: This doesn’t sound good...

If current partner is Meredith:

• Meredith: Uh, do you trust this triangle bloke?

If current partner is Felix:

• Felix: Uh… <player>..?

If current partner is Viola:

• Viola: What manner of a man is he...?

If current partner is Barkley:

• Barkley: Whhh...

• Aleph: SO BE IT! I SHALL GRANT YOUR WISH.

• Aleph: PLEASE DON’T COME BACK.

• Aleph: REALLY.

• Aleph: I MEAN IT.

Night's Bridge Station

Phase 1

(In the train platform of Night's Bridge Station, the player and all their companions come across a giant triangular mirror.)

• Kayleigh: That MUST be the doorway...

• Meredith: This is it, right?

• Eugene: Momentous!

• Felix: So we're assuming this giant triangle is the doorway, right?

• Viola: Such a sight...

• Barkley: *Pant pant*

• Aleph: Wow, we really did it!

(Aleph approaches the party from behind.)

If current partner is Kayleigh:

• Kayleigh: Aleph!

If current partner is Eugene:

• Eugene: What do you want, creep?

If current partner is Meredith:

• Meredith: Oh. You again.

If current partner is Felix:

• Felix: Were you following us...?

If current partner is Viola:

• Viola: You!

If current partner is Barkley:

• Barkley: Arf?!

• Aleph: THAT OLD WITCH REALLY HID THIS PLACE WELL.

• Aleph: DID YOU KNOW THIS WHOLE RAILWAY IS ANOTHER ONE OF US "ARCHANGELS"?

• Aleph: THE MER-LINE, WE CALL IT. YOUR WHOLE "ISLAND" LIES ATOP ITS BACK.

• Aleph: IT'S A REAL LABYRINTH DOWN HERE!

• Aleph: I NEVER WOULD HAVE FOUND THE CHAMBER WITHOUT YOU GUYS, SERIOUSLY.

(Choice between "Is "that old witch" Morgante?" and "Did Morgante hide this place?")

• Aleph: . . .

• Aleph: I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KNOW THAT NAME. YOU'RE SMARTER THAN YOU LOOK, FRIEND.

• Aleph: THE OLD WITCH HAD ME TRAPPED IN THESE TUNNELS FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I WON OUT EVENTUALLY.

• Aleph: I ALWAYS DO.

(Choice between "What do you want?" and "What are you plotting?")

• Aleph: SUCH AN ACCUSATORY TONE! WE'RE TRYING TO MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE, FRIENDS!

• Aleph: WHY, ALL I WANT IS TO LEAVE THROUGH THAT DOORWAY RIGHT THERE!

• Aleph: SPEAKING OF FRIENDS. . .

(A train passes, and every previously-defeated Archangel takes formation behind Aleph.)

• Aleph: MEET THE NEW TEAM!

• Kayleigh: Oh no...

• Meredith: Uh-oh...

• Eugene: ...Oh.

• Felix: ...Huh.

• Viola: I see...

• Barkley: Arf...?

• Aleph: Y'SEE, I USED TO BE KIND OF A BIG SHOT.

• Aleph: MY OLD CREW AND I HAD SOMETHING OF AN ARRANGEMENT WITH YOUR LOT. A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP. EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT.

• Aleph: I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU HUMANS! WITHOUT YOU, WE WOULDN'T EXIST!

(Aleph shows off an ancient-looking mural - himself, wielding two swords and sitting atop a pile of corpses.)

• Aleph: YOU HUMANS LIVE ON YOUR LITTLE WORLDS AND YOU INVENT ALL THESE CUTE IDEAS. LOVE, DEATH, WHATEVER...

• Aleph: YOUR MOST POWERFUL THOUGHTS WOULD BRING US TO LIFE, AND IN RETURN WE'D TRAVEL TO YOUR WORLDS TO ACT OUT WHATEVER FANTASIES YOU CONCOCTED FOR US!

• Aleph: ADVENTURES. . . WARS. . . EXTINCTION EVENTS...

• Aleph: YOU PEOPLE LOVE THAT STUFF THE MOST, AND SO DO I!

• Aleph: UNFORTUNATELY MY OLD BAND GOT A TAD DYSFUNCTIONAL AND HAD TO SPLIT.

• Aleph: SO I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE SCENE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

• Aleph: BUT NOW WE'RE BACK IN ACTION!

• Kayleigh: So you and the Archangels are going to... invade worlds, and act out the violent myths that inspire your creation?

• Meredith: That's pretty worrying.

• Eugene: An endless cycle of violence...

• Felix: Yeah, that doesn't sound great.

• Viola: Such dark desires cannot be allowed to be realized!

• Barkley: Grrrrrr....

• Aleph: HEY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, FRIENDS!

• Aleph: WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE HERE.

• Aleph: YOU WANT OFF THIS BACKWATER WORLD, AND SO DO WE.

• Aleph: IN FACT, I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL!

(Choice between "A deal?" and "What are your terms?")

• Aleph: WE CAN ALL GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS, AND WE'LL NEVER VISIT ANY OF YOUR WORLDS.

• Aleph: YOU'LL NEVER SEE US AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

(Choice between "What?" and "No deal!")

If chosen "What?":

• Aleph: WE'LL CONQUER OTHER PEOPLES' WORLDS, AND LEAVE YOURS ALONE.

If chosen "No deal!":

• Aleph: . . .NO?

• Aleph: I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

If current partner is Kayleigh:

• Kayleigh: All people have value, no matter what world they're from! All we can do is our best to help them!

If current partner is Eugene:

• Eugene: Even if the people of other worlds don't know we exist, in this moment: they're relying on us to protect them from you!

If current partner is Meredith:

• Meredith: It would be pretty crappy of us to sell out other realities just for safe passage, mate.

If current partner is Felix:

• Felix: You're gonna hurt people, even if we don't see it happening. That's a pretty bad deal, by my estimation.

If current partner is Viola:

• Viola: Dark desires may have given you life, but you have no right to return that darkness upon the hearts of man!

If current partner is Barkley:

• Barkley: ARF!

• Aleph: BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA MESS WITH YOUR REALITIES!

• Aleph: WOULD YOU REALLY RISK YOUR VERY LIVES... TO HELP PEOPLE YOU'VE NEVER MET?

(Choice between "Yes." and "Of course.")

• Aleph: FINE. FINE!

• Aleph: YOU'RE BEING REALLY UNCOOPERATIVE RIGHT NOW.

• Aleph: I'M JUST GONNA KILL YOU ALL AND GET ON OUT OF HERE, ALRIGHT?

(During the fight)

• Aleph: YOU PEOPLE CREATED US, AND NOW YOU WANNA KILL US? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!

• Aleph: THIS IS SO UNPRODUCTIVE. . .

(After the fight)

• Aleph: RIGHT. I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

• Aleph: EVERYONE, GET BACK ON THE TRAIN! WE'RE LEAVING!

(Aleph spins the train towards the portal.)

• Aleph: ALL ABOARD!

• Aleph: OUR NEXT DESTINATION IS: ANYWHERE WE WANT!

If current partner is Kayleigh:

• Kayleigh: <player>, quick!

If current partner is Eugene:

• Eugene: C'mon, let's go!

If current partner is Meredith:

• Meredith: <player>, we can't let him leave!

If current partner is Felix:

• Felix: We gotta go after him. You know that, right?

If current partner is Viola:

• Viola: Our quarry shall not flee so easily!

If current partner is Barkley:

• Barkley: Grrr...
