"Malcolm Hargrove: Dear Director. We can all understand that the shift from autonomy to oversight can be a difficult adjustment for anyone, but especially someone of your standing. In that spirit, we have attempted to accommodate your brief explanations to our serious inquiries. None the less, I feel compelled to inform you, that even our trust has its limits."

"Washington: Come on, let's move out."

"Church: Caboose? Caboose, is that you?"

"Leonard Church: Dear Chairman. Rest assured we have the situation under control. While the Meta is proving to be an elusive enemy, our Recovery agent is already closing in on it. I expect this incident will reach a conclusion soon, and I will be able to return to my research. Hopefully, without further interruption."

"Miller: This here is Special Agent Washington, from Blue Command. He has something fantastic he needs to talk to you about."

"Malcolm Hargrove: Dear Director, due to your busy schedule, we have begun interviewing members of your staff. I'm certain you will let us know if this bothers you. However our debriefings keep coming back to a single subject at Outpost 17-B. Can you explain to us what this Meta is, and what your plans are to deal with it?"

"[Washington approaches the Red Base]"

"Simmons: Shotgun!"

"Simmons: Sarge?"

"Red Soldier: Any last words?"

"Grif: Don't you think it's ironic that you're about to shoot us because we don't have enough ammo?"

"Malcolm Hargrove: Dear Director. I feel you're avoiding the question. If this target was already in possession of an A.I. unit, how was he able to secure an additional unit from Agent South? Would not that verify, as we indicated earlier, that your program now runs experiments with more than one artificial intelligence? If so, where did these additional A.I. come from? And more importantly, how did your agency procure them?"

"Aiden Price: You are Private Walter Henderson, correct?"

"Washington: Look, there’s our cycle. The Meta must be here."

"Leonard Church: Dear Chairman, I understand your concern that increased activity will bring increased risks. However, our failsafes are simple but foolproof: a dead or dying agent’s beacon automatically notifies our Recovery team, and we will be on the scene immediately to secure all the military’s property."

"Dellario: I just wanna know why we have wall duty for the third day straight and Tubbs pulls motor pool every time."

"Command: Recovery One, come in, level zero come in."

"Washington: Apparently they already have a shortcut on their keyboard for reporting his team kills."

"Malcolm Hargrove: Dear Director. Your program was granted the use of a single artificial intelligence unit, for implantation experiments. Yet, the department records clearly show, multiple agents in the field with implants, during the same timeframes. Surely this must be a logging error, and we anticipate a corrected document soon."
