NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_LANG	INCOMING TRANSMISSION… SOURCE: UNKNOWN… You are not – kzzktt – alone – Please, identify yourself. I’m – kzzkttk –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_A	Identify yourself
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_B	Remain silent
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1A_LANG	You left me – kkzzktt – Why did you – kzzttkk –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1A_OPT_A	Tell them you don’t understand
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1A_OPT_B	Tell them you are sorry
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1B_LANG	Of course you’d say that, of course you’d – kkkttkzzz – just like the others – kzzttkk –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1B_OPT_A	Ask who you are speaking to
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1B_OPT_B	Ask about the ‘others’
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1C_LANG	I know you can – kzzktt – hear me. Speak. I beg of you.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1C_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_A Identify yourself
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1C_OPT_B	Continue to remain silent
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1D_LANG	Art imitates – zzktt – life. All I wanted was an answer. It did not need to be this way.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1D_OPT_A	End transmission
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1E_LANG	Don’t lie to me. You – kkkttkzzz – Even the others did not – zzttkk –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_1E_RES	There is no reply. The communicator falls silent, though the channel remains open.
Step 2
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP2_DESC	I have received a strange communication from an unknown source. A voice spoke to me, though it almost seemed as if they were speaking to someone else. They were cut off as strangely as they began, and I received a set of coordinates.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP2_OBJ	UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP1_OBJ Travel to the stranger’s coordinates
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP2_OBJ_TIP	UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP1_OBJ_TIP Locate the coordinates sent to you by looking for the mission icon on your HUD. The compass at the top of your ship’s cockpit will help you track the signal.

NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_LANG	– zzktt – … – zzkttk –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_DESC	There are no signs of life. There is only the static of a broken communicator.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_A	Extract records
NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_RES_A	Whatever message was once here has been scrambled beyond recovery. All I extract is the pilot’s name, ‘Artemis’. There is little more to be found here. Whoever Artemis is, they are long gone.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B	Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_RES_B	I leave the communicator be. There is no sense disturbing the dead.
Step 3
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP3_DESC	I received a set of mysterious coordinates from an unknown source. I followed the signal, and found the wreckage of an abandoned starship. There was little be gained from the wreck, but the distress beacon contained the hailing frequency labelled ‘ARTEMIS’. There is nothing for it but to continue exploring.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP3_OBJ1	Search for clues about Artemis
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP3_OBJ1_TIP	Answers may be found in the stars…

NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3_LANG	… … … – zzktt – … where – zzkttk – Is there anyone – kzzkt – out there? It’s outside, it – zzzkkt – something’s wrong with –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_1_OPT_A Identify yourself
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3_OPT_B	Ask what is wrong
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3_RES_A	I tell the stranger that I can hear them. There is a moment’s pause. The only sound I hear is the background hiss of cosmic radiation.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3_RES_B	I ask the stranger what is wrong. There is a moment’s pause. The only sound I hear is the background hiss of cosmic radiation.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3A_LANG	You – you found me… There’s so little light. I thought I’d never hear another soul again, I really did. How did you find my voice?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3A_OPT_A	Say you found a crashed ship
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3A_RES_A	I tell the stranger about the abandoned starship wreck, and how I found their communicator ID in the distress beacon.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3B_LANG	It’s outside, but I think I’m – kzzzkt – safe… There are sixteen of them, they look just like – kzkzkzt –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3B_OPT_A	Ask where they are
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3B_OPT_B	Ask about the ‘sixteen’
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3B_RES	Fear and confusion dance within the eyes of the stranger. After a few moments of silence, they turn to me, imploring –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_LANG	You don’t know who you are, do you? You – kzzkt – It lied to me. It lied to all of –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_DESC	The sound cuts out, but their face lingers on, silent, before it too fades into nothingness.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A	End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_RES_A	Artemis needs my help. I need to find a way to boost the signal.
Step 4
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_DESC	After returning to my ship, a stranger identifying themselves as Artemis contacted me. Static and interference rendered communication difficult, but it is clear that Artemis needs my help. I must find some way to boost the signal before it is too late.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_OBJ1	Locate a long distance transmitter
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_OBJ1_TIP	To re-establish contact with Artemis, first locate a long-distance transmitter. Holographic communication towers can be found on many planets. Such a device might be powerful enough to establish a stable connection.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_MSG1A	Locate a long distance transmitter Scan (<IMG>SCAN<>) for potential sites
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP4_OSD1A	Power the transmitter to boost the signal
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_HOLOHUB_LANG	HOLOTERMINUS ACTIVATED… MULTIPLE SIGNAL SOURCES AVAILABLE
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_HOLOHUB_DESC	The tower hosts a powerful transmitter, designed to facilitate holographic communication across long distances. The extra power should allow me to reestablish the connection to Artemis.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_HOLOHUB_OPT_A	Tune to Artemis’ frequency
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_HOLOHUB_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_HOLOHUB_RES_A	I try to locate Artemis’ frequency, uploading the data from our previous communication.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_LANG	Who’s – kzzkkt – who’s there? You – it’s you again, isn’t it? You really are real, aren’t you? You aren’t a dream?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_OPT_A	Ask what they mean
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4_OPT_B	Say you are real
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4A_LANG	I’m sorry, it’s hard to think here. Something’s wrong with the – kzzzkkt – It’s easy to fabricate a better reality when you have to. I thought you might be a dream. I’m sorry, I haven’t heard another voice in so long, not since I cut the speaker from my exosuit. It said such terrible things…
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4A_OPT_A	Ask who they are
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4A_OPT_B	Ask what they are
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4A_RES	The stranger smiles through the static.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4B_LANG	I’m just like you. You are a Traveller of worlds, aren’t you?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4B_OPT_A	Ask what a Traveller is
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4B_OPT_B	Ask how they know this
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4B_RES	They do not respond with speech. They transmit a vision, a red star and a fragile world. I do not understand the shapes within, the whispers… I see lifeforms scattered to the far reaches of the galaxies. I see this stranger’s first breath, yearning for the stars. I see myself, slumbering in the crimson void, waiting for a dream of worlds. And through the darkness, I hear it said…
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4C_TITLE	BREACH WARNING
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4C_LANG	Anomaly detected. Designation: TRAVELLER
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4C_OPT_A	Awaken
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_LANG	What I showed you just now… it was already inside of you. We are all born with this memory, even if we don’t know how we lost it. We are the Travellers. We are the fourth race, discoverers of worlds. How long did it take you to realise you were different? From the moment you woke, you must have sensed something. So did I. Before I became stranded here, I was on a journey to find others of our kind, to finally meet. It cannot be a coincidence that you found this signal… Tell me, do you still have the data log from that crashed ship?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_OPT_A	Upload data
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_OPT_B	Decline
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_RES_A	I upload my exosuit’s records, including the strange transmission I received and the data I found at the crashed vessel.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_RES_B	Where are – kzzzttt – have you gone? It’s – kzzzzkkt – signal – ktzzzzzkt –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_RET_LANG	Please, I have to see that data. Don’t toy with me, not with something like this…
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4E_LANG	Much of my equipment is damaged. I am alone, on foot, stranded on a sunless world. I don’t even know how your signal is reaching me. But this ship you found… it belonged to me, once. Perhaps there is hope after all. We need to work out where we both are. If you build <TECHNOLOGY>signal boosters<> across this system, we should be able to triangulate your position. I’ll finally get out of this hellhole and you’ll get all the answers you seek. Sound like a deal?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4E_OPT_A	Agree with the plan
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4E_OPT_B	Hesitate
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4E_RES_A	Thank you, Traveller. You’re going to save my life. You’re going to find me.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_4E_RES_B	I know this is strange. But it’ll all make sense soon. Trust me… you’re going to save my life. You’re going to find me.
Step 5
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_DESC	I made contact with Artemis, discovering that they are stranded on a sunless world. They asked me to triangulate my position so that we might figure out a path towards meeting.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_OBJ1A	Triangulate Your Position: Place First Beacon
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_OBJ1B	Triangulate Your Position: Place Second Beacon
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_OBJ1C	Triangulate Your Position: Place Third Beacon
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_OBJ1_TIP	Visit several planets and build <TECHNOLOGY>Signal Boosters<> in order to triangulate your position for Artemis.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_MSG1A	Build a Signal Booster Access the Build Menu with <IMG>BUILD_MENU<>
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_MSG1A2	Use the <TECHNOLOGY>Signal Booster<> to triangulate your position
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_MSG1B	Suitable <TECHNOLOGY>triangulation position<> located Make your way to the triangulation site
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_TRIANGULATE	Triangulate Position
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_OSD1B	POSITION LOGGED // READY FOR NEXT POSITION
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP5_MARKER1B	Suitable Site Located
NPC
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5_LANG	When I first reached out to the heavens, I had no idea what to expect. The beauty, the mystery, the adventure, the danger. And here we are, aren’t we? Go to a HoloTerminus, upload your data. Let’s find each other. If you’re as close as I think you are, we’re about to make history.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5A_LANG	Have you triangulated your position? Let me know when you’re ready to receive some data.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5A_OPT_A	Confirm
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5A_OPT_B	NPC_CORE_ACT1_4D_OPT_B Decline
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5A_LANG_RET	Have you – kzzkt – have you triangulated your position? I need to – kzzzkt – you some data.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5A_RES_A	Artemis transmits a packet of data, a star chart showing the skies around their location.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5A_RES_B	There is – kzzzzkt – no time. Do not delay!
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5B_LANG	I only have the equipment I came in here with, and it’s done me no good so far. I don’t know where I am. I don’t even know how long I’ve been here… So, we’ll need to go take an old–fashioned approach. We can use the sky to figure out where I am. If you visit a space station, there will plenty of locals able to match our star patterns. I’ll patch my translator through so that you can understand what they’re saying. You’ll need to calibrate it first, but that should only take a few words. Oh! I have something else for you… you might find this useful.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5B_DESC	Artemis sends one last transmission, a blueprint for <TECHNOLOGY>Suspension Fluid<>.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5B_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_3C_OPT_A End Communication
NPC_CORE_ACT1_5B_RES_A	Good luck. Or maybe - see you soon!
Step 6
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_DESC	Excited at the prospect of meeting, Artemis has gathered records of the stars visible from their world. They wish for me to bring this chart to a space station and determine a route between our location.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OBJ1	Calibrate the translator by learning words in the local language.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OBJ1_TIP	Words can be learned by speaking to alien lifeforms, or by investigating their ruins and other sacred places. Find alien lifeforms aboard space stations or in various planetary buildings. Explore to locate ruins and other ancient monuments.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_MSG1	Calibrate Artemis’ translator Learn words: %CURRENT%/%AMOUNT% Press <IMG>OPTIONS<> to see more about learning words
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OSD1	Calibrate Artemis’ translator
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OBJ2	Visit the lifeform and locate yourself on the starchart
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OBJ2_TIP	Lifeforms in this system should be able to analyse Artemis’ chart and pinpoint your location.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_MSG2	Discover your location Visit lifeforms and ask about your position
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OSD2	TARGET LIFEFORM DETECTED
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_MARKER2	TARGET LIFEFORM
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OBJ3	Increase your standing with the alien lifeforms
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_OBJ3_TIP	Before the alien lifeform will speak with you, you must reach a sufficiently impressive level of standing with their community. Access the Guide (<IMG>OPTIONS<>) to learn more about how to raise standing.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP6_MSG3	Raise your standing with the %RACE% Increase standing by: %CURRENT%/%AMOUNT% Access the Guide (<IMG>OPTIONS<>) to learn about Standing
Gek
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_LANG	Oh, friend. Gek trade protocol forbids transactions with beings of unknown credit history.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_DESC	Through the garble of Artemis’ translator, it is clear that I am yet to make an impact among the Gek. I need to improve my <SPECIAL>reputation rank<>.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_DESC	As I approach the lifeform, their beak begins to click, a strange gas issuing forth. It is unclear if Artemis’ translator is working.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_A	Ask for information
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B	Resist the gas
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_RES_A	The lifeform shakes their head, disappointed in me.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6A_LANG	Friend! I require units for information. Please understand…
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A	Ask why they need units
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_B	TRA_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B Resist the gas
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6A_RES_A	The lifeform becomes agitated and upset, the gas growing foul.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6B_LANG	A greeting without units I could forgive. But a demand for information? Do you think TradeGek knowledge is freely earned? You insult us all.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6B_OPT_A	Continue to resist the gas
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6B_OPT_B	Bargain
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6B_RES_A	I attempt to bargain with the lifeform, appealing to the potential for future trade in order to gain free information. They seem impressed with me, their beak twisting into something resembling a smile.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6C_LANG	Of course. Trade Federation pleased to establish new customer. Friend, please pass me the data for examination.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A Give star chart
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6C_RES_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A I ask the lifeform to decode the star chart and provide a route to Artemis’ location.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6D_DESC	I try to resist smelling their gas, but the odour permeates my exosuit vents, even my life support system. I am filled with an overwhelming desire to purchase things.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6D_OPT_A	Resist offering units
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6D_OPT_B	Offer units for information
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6D_RES_A	The lifeform begins to hold their breath, their entire complexion changing…
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6D_RES_B	I offer units to the Gek, repeating my request for information. The Gek smiles, the gas receding. They appear to have found the entire exchange amusing. In exchange for this amusement, they offer to decode the star chart for free.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6E_LANG	Strange behaviour for first greeting, friend! Trade Federation pleased to establish new customer. Friend, please pass me the data for examination…
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6E_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A Give star chart
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A I ask the lifeform to decode the star chart and provide a route to Artemis’ location.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6F_LANG	Your data appears to be fabricated, friend, or possibly corrupted. No such location exists.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_A Ask if they could have made a mistake
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_B	Thank and leave
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6F_RES_A	The Gek is offended by the suggestion that they made a mistake. They say they will give me a low rating on the Trade Federation database for my impertinence. I apologise and leave.
TRA_CORE_ACT1_6F_RES_B	It is a pleasure to do business with you, friend!
Korvax
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_LANG	Eheu! Insignificance does not register with the Convergence. Of interest, but not of worth.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_DESC	Through the garble of Artemis’ translator, it is clear that I am yet to make an impact among the Korvax. I need to improve my <SPECIAL>reputation rank<>.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_DESC	As I approach the lifeform, the lights in its shell casing begin to brighten and constrict, chattering noises issuing forth. They hold out a scanner. It is unclear if Artemis’ translator is working.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_A Ask for information about this star system
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B	Scan the Korvax
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_RES_A	The lifeform’s chattering ends. They stare at me with disappointment.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_LANG	Information exchange possible. We only require a small sample of your organic components and a full technology scan.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A	Ask why
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_B	Try and do your own scan of the Korvax
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6A_RES_A	The lifeform becomes agitated and upset, the lights on their mask starting to dilate and flicker.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6B_LANG	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_RES_A The lifeform’s chattering ends. They stare at me with disappointment.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6B_OPT_A	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B Scan the Korvax
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6B_OPT_B	Say you are a Traveller
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6B_RES_A	I tell the lifeform I am a Traveller. The Korvax is overwhelmed at the suggestion. They stare at what little data they have already been able to gather.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6C_LANG	This – this data is invaluable to Korvax Convergence! Thank you, Traveller, I will of course assist you!
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A Give star chart
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6C_RES_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A I ask the lifeform to decode the star chart and provide a route to Artemis’ location.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6D_DESC	The lifeform’s shell casing begins to dilate and flicker. They attempt to scan my scanner, but it is clear that my tool interferes with its own.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6D_OPT_A	Persist
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6D_OPT_B	Allow the lifeform to scan you
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6D_RES_A	The lifeform grows increasingly irritated.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6D_RES_B	I allow the lifeform to scan me. They create a three–dimensional cross section of body, exosuit, skin, organs all included, refining the model through occasional projections. Eventually, it is complete.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6E_LANG	EXP_CORE_ACT1_6C_LANG This – this data is invaluable to Korvax Convergence! Thank you, Traveller, I will of course assist you!
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6E_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A Give star chart
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A I ask the lifeform to decode the star chart and provide a route to Artemis’ location.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6F_LANG	Location does not exist, Traveller. Eheu! Nothing is more tragic than a corrupted piece of code.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_A Ask if they could have made a mistake
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_B	Thank the Korvax and leave.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6F_RES_A	The Korvax seems momentarily confused, as if the concept that they could have made a mistake has never even been considered. They claim their systems are infallible, superior to the judgement of any organic lifeform. I apologise and leave.
EXP_CORE_ACT1_6F_RES_B	Good luck in your journey. Please, feel welcome to return and deliver a blood sample at any time.
Vy’keen
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_LANG	Grah! Interloper! Such little honour! Vy’keen are unimpressed.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_DESC	Through the garble of Artemis’ translator, it is clear that I am yet to make an impact among the Vy’keen. I need to improve my <SPECIAL>reputation rank<>.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_LOWRANK_OPT_A	NPC_CORE_ACT1_2_OPT_B Leave
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_DESC	As I approach the lifeform, they spit onto their own palm and bow to me. They issue only a single noise, ‘Grah!’ It is unclear if Artemis’s translator is working…
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_A	Ask for information about this star system
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B	Spit and bow to the lifeform
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_RES_A	The lifeform’s body begins to shake, their teeth now bared to me.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6A_LANG	Grah! Death! Death!
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A	Suggest the lifeform should calm down
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_B	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B Spit and bow to the lifeform
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6A_RES_A	The lifeform barks, snarling, spittle flying from the thing they call a mouth.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6B_LANG	Interloper should calm down instead! Grah! Interloper should learn manners! Death! Death!
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6B_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6_OPT_B Spit and bow to the lifeform
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6B_OPT_B	Headbutt the lifeform
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6B_RES_B	I headbutt the lifeform. They do not move, they do not register any pain. They just stare at me for a while. Eventually, they laugh.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_LANG	Grhahah! Amusing! Ask your question, pathetic interloper! I shall answer.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_OPT_A	Give star chart
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6C_RES_A	I ask the lifeform to decode Artemis’s star chart and provide a route to their location.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6D_DESC	I spit and bow, emulating the lifeform’s strange motions. They scream, withdraw a dagger from a holster at their side, and slice open their own palm. They laugh at me, offering their dagger.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6D_OPT_A	WAR_CORE_ACT1_6A_OPT_A Suggest the lifeform should calm down
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6D_OPT_B	Copy the lifeform
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6D_RES_A	The lifeform barks, snarling, spittle flying out from the thing they call a mouth
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6D_RES_B	Grimacing, I run the dagger along my own palm, a little blood emerging through my exosuit. The hole quickly seals itself. The lifeform appears to find my behaviour hilarious.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_LANG	Grhahaha! Interloper actually did it! Thinks it is Vy’keen. Thinks it is warrior. What do you want, pathetic interloper?
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_OPT_A	Give the lifeform Artemis’s star chart
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6E_RES_A	I ask the lifeform to decode the star chart and provide a route to Artemis’ location.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_LANG	What is this nonsense? This location does not exist, or the Vy’keen would know!
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_A	Ask if they could have made a mistake
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_OPT_B	Thank and leave.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_RES_A	The Vy’keen does not respond well to the insinuation that they may have made a mistake in analysing the star chart data, shouting ‘death, death!’ I apologise and leave.
WAR_CORE_ACT1_6F_RES_B	Grah! Do not thank. Leave!
Step 7
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP7_DESC	When I showed Artemis’ starchart to the local species, they claimed that there was no such arrangement of stars in existence. Something appears to be very wrong… I must return to Artemis and tell them the bad news.
UI_CORE_ACT1_STEP7_MARKER	Make contact with Artemis

NPC_CORE_ACT1_7_LANG	There you are! – kzkzkt – I’ve found high ground, I think. When you arrive, I’ll fire my multi–tool into the air to mark my location. What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7_OPT_A	Tell Artemis what happened
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7_RES	I tell Artemis the locals could not decipher their star chart. The alien even went so far as to claim those stars did not exist.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7A_LANG	That’s impossible. I can’t have travelled that far from charted space. You found my ship…
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7A_OPT_A	Suggest the locals are wrong
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7A_OPT_B	Ask how Artemis got there
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7A_RES	As I speak, the line begins to crackle with interference. Artemis looks up at the stars in panic.

NPC_CORE_ACT1_7B_DESC	It is quiet at first. But it is there, unmistakable, growing steadily louder with each passing moment. A sound beneath their words, a sound as if glass could scream…

NPC_CORE_ACT1_7B_OPT_B	Comfort Artemis

NPC_CORE_ACT1_7B_RES_B	I try to comfort Artemis, but my words feel strangely hollow. I can do nothing. Artemis speaks to me again.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7B_RES_C	I remain silent, watching as Artemis arms their multi–tool. The attack does not come, and they speak to me again.
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7C_LANG	I discovered the glyphs for a portal, Traveller, a gateway between worlds. I thought it would lead me to another of our kind. But now… I don’t even know if the voice was real. The pathway collapsed while I was still inside. I found this place in the darkness. I thought perhaps it was a planet. I – kzzkt – I was so wrong, I – I can see their faces, I – kzzkt – there are seeds of glass within their –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7C_OPT_A	Ask for the glyphs

NPC_CORE_ACT1_7C_RES_A	They’re gone, my data fragmented in the – kzkzt –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7C_RES_B	Where have you gone? What’s wrong with you? Please, I – kzzkt –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7D_LANG	I just wanted to discover worlds. I wanted to find other Travellers. I didn’t – kzzkt – to be alone anymore… Sixteen – kktkttkzkt – worn your face, it – kzkt – please, not yet… I’m not – kkttkktzzt –
NPC_CORE_ACT1_7D_DESC	The signal cuts off. As it crackles into oblivion, I hear a name through the static: “Apollo”.
