Sarah Morgan:

"I wanted to talk to you, but honestly, I don't know where to begin."

"The Starborn's technology is simply astonishing. It's just... almost too much to process."

	You seem to be pretty shaken up about the whole thing.	Yes, I suppose I am, but you can hardly blame me, can you?
▼	I wasn't really that impressed.	Are you out of your mind?
▼	Cut to the chase and tell me how to deal with them.	That's either extremely brave or extremely foolish. Considering you have no idea what you're getting yourself into, I'd say it's a bit of both.
🗣︎	So you've never encountered anything like them before?	Of course not. No one has. If an encounter with this level of importance had occurred in the past, I assure you that Constellation would be well acquainted with it.

"You do understand the significance of this encounter, don't you?"

"This is humankind's first contact with what I believe is an alien race. A race with technology that could be far superior to our own."

"We could learn so much from them."

...	Player	Response
	You sound afraid.	I wouldn't say I was afraid... more like, approaching the situation with caution.
	That's what disturbs me.	Oh, I do. More than you'll ever know.
	Do you think they'd be willing to teach us?	The way they behaved, I'd say that's not very likely. If we're to learn anything from the Starborn, we're going to have to take the initiative ourselves.

"It can't be a coincidence that these Starborn suddenly appeared after your experience at that temple."

"We know they're here to lay claim to the Artifacts, but what's their true motivation? What aren't they telling us?"

...	Player	Response
	[+Serpent's Embrace?] Maybe they've been sent as some type of herald for the Great Serpent's return.	Interesting, though I feel there's a more scientific reason behind their existence. No offence, of course.
	I worry that they're here to destroy us.	They're certainly hostile, but I don't think they're here to completely annihilate us or they would have done so already.
	The possibility that they have a hidden agenda is disturbing.	It's very disturbing, especially with all of that cutting-edge technology at their disposal.
	I'm hoping we can come to some sort of understanding with them.	I feel exactly the same way, but it certainly sounded like they weren't willing to work with us at all.

"Damn. If only we knew more about the Starborn. What their species is like. Where they're from. How they're able to speak our language."

"I feel like a cadet on my very first day aboard a spaceship. My mind is absolutely swimming with questions."

...	Player	Response
	[+Starborn?] Humans have more in common with the Starborn than you suspect.	Than "you" suspect? Don't you mean "we?" Anyway, that's an interesting theory, but given what we've seen so far, I don't see how it's possible.
	They're clearly some type of alien lifeform.	Obviously, but there has to be more to these beings than simply originating from another world.
	I think they're angels.	Matteo would definitely agree with you about that. Myself, I'm not so certain.
	I think they're time travelers.	No, they're not time travelers. I don't think the science is there to support that theory.

"Their name alone... "Starborn." There's some type of hidden meaning there. Something that feels very... old. Perhaps even ancient."

"Whatever the case may be, I can assure you that Constellation intends to get to the bottom of this mystery."

▲	We should make every effort to learn about these beings.	Exactly!	We must use all of the tools at our disposal to learn more about the Starborn and their connection to the Artifacts.
	We should be cautious dealing with things beyond our understanding.	To a degree, yes.	Every bit of exploration comes with inherent risk. If we continue to avoid life's mysteries, we'll barely make progress as a species.
▼	Whatever they are, we should stay out of their way.	No, we absolutely can not allow them to continue their mission unchecked.	Without a deep understanding of what the Artifacts are and why the Starborn want them so badly, we must stay the course.
🗣︎	If you had to guess, why do you think they call themselves "Starborn?"	Hm, I'm not really sure. Scientifically speaking, we're ALL "born" from the stars. Most of the chemical components of our body: carbon, oxygen, sulfur... are exactly the same as those manufactured by internal stellar reactions. Now ask someone like Matteo the same question, and he'd probably give a more theological answer... but hey, it's all a guessing game anyway.

...	Player	Response
▲	I'll be there to help you every step of the way.	Thank you. I really appreciate your support right now.
	I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of the mystery.	I certainly hope so.
▲	I just don't want you to get hurt.	I'm grateful you feel that way... and don't worry, I promise to be careful.

"You know, it's funny. When I was a little girl, I'd lay on the ground and stare up at the stars. I was absolutely convinced they held a secret."

"I'd remain there for hours in silence, eyes closed... listening... waiting for the secret to be whispered in my ear."

"This encounter with the Starborn... is that moment to me. The stars are finally whispering and I need to hear what they have to say."

...	Player	Response
▲	We'll get you there. I promise.	I knew I could count on your support.
	Just don't go risking your life to learn the secret.	I'll be careful. I promise.
	[Flirt] I have a few things I'd love to whisper in your ear right now.	Hm. Although I'm flattered that you think of me that way, there's a time and a place for that sort of talk. This is definitely not one of them.
🗣︎	What are you expecting to learn?	Truthfully, I haven't the slightest idea. But just the thought that any of the secrets of the universe could be revealed from these Starborn is terribly exciting.

"Well then, I've certainly wasted enough of your valuable time."

"Just do be careful if you cross paths with these Starborn in the future. I wouldn't want to lose one of the most valuable members of Constellation."
