"This... this isn’t just cryostasis. They’re being preserved... like specimens."
"Poor Nina... I've been playing with her since The Sims 2."
Amy: "We break them out now, or we risk never getting another chance."
Leslie: "Or we trigger a security lockdown and end up in tanks of our own."
"Damn! Those tanks have some Tremere magic shit!"
"Observation: Containment units resonate at 18.7 Hz - identical to Chantry wards. Conclusion: Breaking requires either a) Thaumaturgical counter-ritual, or b) Approximately 2.3 tons of concentrated force."
"Wonderful. Our options are 'wait for Suzana to do homework' or 'summon a forklift'."
*(The group explores the bizarre hybrid lab - half alchemical garden, half dragon nursery.)*
"Wait... these aren’t storage rooms. They’re growing something here."
“This wasn't a laboratory. This is a garden.”
"We split the scan. Rebecca, you take the dragonlings. I’ll handle the crystal garden. If any of this reacts to vitae, we’ll know."
"This statue… it’s not either representation of Aur-Mor nor Tiam’el"
"They're like angry little balloons. Can we keep just one? Please? I’ll name him Bitey."
"Only if it doesn’t explode when hugged."
"Why do I feel like this thing’s looking at me? Crystals aren’t supposed to... vibe like this."
Suzana: "Trace readings are identical to the Monastery and the Chantry ritual chamber."
Leslie: "Then these aren’t leftovers. They're the source."
*(The team bursts into a secured chamber to find Susan Wainwright and the head of security locked behind bars.)*
"First they took my daughter… now my husband… this isn’t happening!"
"You're too late. The lab is lost. We are doomed"
