Sarah Morgan:

"Now that we have a moment, I wanted to ask how you're feeling."

"After your... experience at the temple, you've given everyone at the Lodge quite a scare."

...	Player	Response
	I don't feel any different than I felt before I discovered the place.	I find that to be rather surprising.
	I feel strangely powerful, like energy is coursing through my veins.	That's... distressing, but to be expected I suppose.
	I feel confused, like I don't understand what's happened to me.	That's a very reasonable answer.
🗣︎	Why are you suddenly so concerned about how I'm feeling?	Why am I concerned? Hm. Let's think for a moment. Ah, yes. It isn't exactly an everyday occurrence to stumble across a mysterious temple and absorb some type of strange alien energy from within.

• "According to what I've heard, your body absorbed an almost unquantifiable amount of energy of a type we can't even begin to understand."
• "I saw your body absorb an almost unquantifiable amount of energy of a type we can't even begin to understand." ^{missing condition}

"We're dealing with something unknown to modern science. Who knows how this encounter has affected your body or your mind?"

...	Player	Response
	I appreciate the concern, but I promise you I feel perfectly fine.	Well... good. I'm pleased to hear that.
	To be honest, I'm scared half to death.	I know and I feel terrible that I can't provide you with the proper reassurance.
	Take... me... to... your... leader, human!	Hm. I know you're simply trying to brush this off with humor, but you really should act more concerned.
🗣︎	Is the energy dangerous?	Although I don't know the exact nature of the energy you absorbed, I'm fairly certain it means you no harm. I don't have any scientific data to back that up, so you'll just have to trust my intuition. Don't worry... you'll be fine.

"That temple proves we're dealing with entities of unknown origin."

"The problem is that we can't even begin to guess what their intention was towards us and where they've gone."

...	Player	Response
	[+Starborn?] I believe them to be entities from beyond normal space and time.	That's... quite a hypothesis. It would explain a lot, but no... I can't be susceptible to flights of fancy. Not right now.
	I don't think malevolent beings would have granted me this new ability.	Hm, perhaps.
	If these beings wanted to harm me, I'd already be dead.	Perhaps that's true, or perhaps you were simply quite lucky.
	Now you're starting to worry me.	I'm sorry, I'm afraid my curious mind is once again overriding my manners.
🗣︎	You think it was built by aliens?	It's a possibility I've considered, but I'm not one hundred percent convinced. The only thing we can be certain of is that the technology we've encountered points to beings that live outside the Settled Systems.

"It's just that... I'm afraid that we're flying almost completely blind here."

"All we know for certain at this point is that whoever created the Artifacts are the same beings that built the temple."

"Anything else is just guesswork. I might as well put on a blindfold and toss darts at theories written on the wall."

...	Player	Response
	[+Explorer?] Solving this mystery will be the greatest discovery in the history of humankind.	Oh my goodness, absolutely! But we're only at the very beginning. There are still so many questions that need to be answered.
	I would have thought this would be exciting for you.	Oh, believe me... this is positively exhilarating.
	You sound terribly frustrated.	I'm not frustrated... I'm fascinated.
	I think you're taking all of this too seriously.	Well, what did you expect? This discovery is off the scale.
🗣︎	Constellation's never heard of these temples before?	As far as Constellation's concerned, you're the first human we're aware of that's ever encountered one of these places. Now, whether you consider that lucky or not... that's another matter entirely.

"Think about the significance of this research. The questions it raises alone are mind-boggling."

--

"Who was this wondrous structure built to accommodate? How long ago did these entities inhabit our universe? Are they still out there... somewhere?"

...	Player	Response
	Maybe these temples were intended for humankind all along.	Perhaps. We'll need more data to be sure.
	The Artifacts, the temple, this power... it's all a huge mystery to me.	Indeed... a mystery that I'm, well, hopefully both of us, are determined to solve.
	Sounds like this is one of the reasons for Constellation's existence.	Yes! Exactly. Now you understand why it's imperative that we solve this puzzle.

"It's funny. I used to think the Artifacts were the end-all-be-all of scientific discovery. The pinnacle mystery of our time."

"Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would lead to something of this magnitude."

"I just hope that you'll come through this... whatever it is... unharmed."

...	Player	Response
▲	I couldn't ask for a better partner on this strange journey.	Oh. Well, thank you.
	And here I thought I was Constellation's new lab rat.	Of course you aren't. My number one priority is the safety and well-being of Constellation's personnel.
▲	[Flirt] And here I thought I was the subject of your wildest dreams.	Well... uh, yes, of course you are. I was speaking of... the power you've acquired... uh, this is all scientifically speaking, of course.

"Look, I've already taken up too much of your time."

"All I can do is promise is that I'm not going to make you deal with this mystery alone."

"Whatever might be happening, I'll be right here to help you every step of the way."
