Transcript:
Peck: This is Dr. William Peck. It is the 4th of June, 1985. 9:32 AM. This is test number 8 for dimensional extraction--
Kravchenko: --must you start with that every single recording?
Peck: Deja vu. All over again.
Peck: All teams are in position, ready to proceed. Colonel?
Kravchenko: Activating resonator. Beginning magnetic amplification.
Kravchenko: Well? What does it show?
Peck: Dimensional barrier identified. Proceeding with scan.
Peck: Barrier membrane is fluctuating. Increase voltage output by ten.
Kravchenko: Anything?
Peck: We're picking up something, I'm just not sure what.
Kravchenko: It's him. I know it.
Peck: We can't be sure--
Kravchenko: --Increasing voltage output by twenty--
Peck: --by twenty?? What are you, insane?? Don't you dare--
PA System: Warning. Dimensional Breach in progress. Proceed to safe zones and await further instructions.
Peck: DAMN IT!
Kravchenko: Captain, get your men into position, I want the threat neutralized now!
Kravchenko: Captain??
Peck: Shit. Shit, shit, shit.
Kravchenko: Redirecting alignment. Proceeding with second scan.
Peck: Wait, what are you doing? We need to close that gateway immediately--
Kravchenko: --we will do no such thing--
Peck: --Aetherium levels are spiking across the facility, your men--
Kravchenko: --my men are loyal to Omega. "We were the First. We are the Last." That portal does not close. Not until we have Zykov.
