Dr. Martin


Requirement Set 1

The gum! Do you have-- You have to go to Datamine. Use the Archivists in Moriah, Midian, or Apollyon. The guards inside the construct--they carry it. It's easy... I-- No, I can't go. No, I'm no-- I'm not associated with the Supersymmetric Research group.

This is too many questions! Get me the gum and I'll give you what you want!

Requirement Set 2

I told you, I have nothing to do with SSR. I just-- The gum they gave their guards, it contained extremely pure data in a unique configuration. It's useless--almost useless--to you.

Bring it to me. I need it. ... Don't tell anyone you've seen me.

Requirement Set 3 and 4

Yes, yes, the shoes... They thought it would be a good idea if we wore nice little uniforms... Fat lot of good that did when--

Gum! Just bring me more of it... I have a whole warehouse of these shoes. Nobody wanted them...

Requirement Set 5 and 6

Fine... I'll reconfigure it to fit the female ear. Just bring more...

Requirement Set 7 and 8

Dernick... On top of the residential building--you can't miss him. They did a pretty good job recreating him, from what I hear; sounds like a real son of a--

Hmph. And he tried to stop me. Got what he damned well deserved.

Requirement Set 9 and 10

Raeder thought he had it all figured out... Thought he had them where--

What? Datamine--top of the administration building. Rather appropriate... He always did want to be at the top.

After trading for Requirement Set 1

If there are others--people you can trust--who need these ability codes, send them to me. I must have more-more of this material.

They called it an accident--shut the project down for "safety violations." Hah! That was no accident. Supersymmetric... They used a paper of mine to bluff their way to getting the necessary permits. SSR was just a--

No, never mind. It isn't important. Just get me more of this.

After trading for Requirement Set 2

I must have more of this. The data... Encoded power drawn directly from those--

Ah... ah. No, it's all code here, isn't it. That was the breakthrough. I don't need that much... If I can re-create the coupling singularity.

After trading for Requirement Set 3

Everyone's happy now, aren't they?

Piece of advice: don't try exploiting the...nature of this place--not unless you want to end up shilling shoes on a slum street corner... But I'm one of the lucky ones...

After trading for Requirement Set 4

They'll even protect against electrocution from nearby lightning strikes! Haha! But they weren't worth a damn when the real breakthrough was made.

After trading for Requirement Set 5

Ick. Not surprising... Dernick's ears always were filled with something...

After trading for Requirement Set 6

Just as well that...Raeder isn't likely to make it back from that tropical "retirement" of his...

After trading for Requirement Set 7

Good... I hope he felt it this time.

Came snooping around my apartment once, not long before the... Hrm... I know what he wanted. I told him to go to hell... Hah. Maybe he's there now, along with the rest of them...

After trading for Requirement Set 8

Typical of their creations... Always willing to take a trade-off to get what they wanted. They didn't care who got hurt. Just try finding any of those guards now...at least the ones who were there for more than, oh, six months or so... Hahaha! There isn't much left...

After trading for Requirement Set 9

Hah, those glasses. No wonder he was so... He was taking it from pretty close to the tap, you could say. But we all are... I've seen it... I've seen the hole. All just numbers numbers numbers numbers numbers numbers...

After trading for Requirement Set 10

Hmm... I wonder just how much of him they reconstructed... There are a few questions I might need to ask him. They say he had access to things: research data, security camaera footage... Yes... Raeder probably took a lot of it with him...
