- Chief Engineer Elena
- This transmission predates the Corruption. Whatever's down there, it was old before any of us were a problem to it.

- Chief Engineer Elena
- Those coordinates trace to a structure buried under the amplifier ruins. Dating puts it older than the Corruption. Considerably older.
- PILOT
- Older than the thing that has been trying to kill us for two campaigns. Wonderful.
- Jane Doe
- Whatever is down there, it was old before we were ever a problem to it. That should worry you more than the Corruption did.
