Transcript

Cutscene

It looks like these Hotspots are protected by shield generators. Getting near them will be tricky, but you'll have to shut down each one before you can take out the central service point. Which of course is protected by even more Zin, so... good luck with that.

— Kinzie, Hot and Cold introduction

It looks like these Hotspots are protected by shield generators. Getting near them will be tricky, but you'll have to shut down each one before you can take out the main hub. Which of course is protected by even more Zin, so good luck with that.

Playa - Male 3: "And what's a Hotspot?"
Nolan North: "So what exactly is a Hotspot? Ha ha, don't tell me... it's an anus."

Kinzie: "Basically a giant work station. A system like the simulation you're in probably requires constant maintenance, which is what these seem to be for."

+Playa - Female 3: "There's just one, right?"

-Playa - Female 1: "Tell me there's only one of these?"
Playa - Female 2: "There is only one?"

Playa - Male 1: "Jesus, would you look at the size of that thing?"
Playa - Male 2: "Shit, that thing's big..."
Playa - Male 3: "Look at the size of the bloomin' thing..."
Nolan North: "Jesus, would you look at the size of that thing? Ha ha, it always looks bigger in pictures."

Kinzie: "Focus on the shield generators, otherwise you'll never get to the main console."

— "Arrive At Hotspot"

+Playa - Female 1: "Guess I just pull these out..."

-Playa - Female 1: "Guess I just pull these out..."
Playa - Female 2: "I should pull these out..."
Playa - Female 3: "Let's just cut to the chase."

Playa - Female 2: "See? A triumph of brute force."
Playa - Female 3: "Who has time to figure these doodads out?"
Playa - Male 1: "See, who needs hacking skills when brute strength works."
Playa - Male 2: "See, Kinzie, I got hacking skills, too."
Playa - Male 3: "Blind luck and bravado for the win."
Nolan North: "Ah, hacking's for pussies."

— "1st Shield Down"

Kinzie: "With the shield down you can get to the console at the base of the structure."

+Playa - Male 3: "Right. Piece of cake."

-Playa - Female 1: "Yeah, that's not gonna be a problem..."
Playa - Female 2: "Of course. No problem..."
Playa - Female 3: "Oh peachy..."
Playa - Male 1: "Oh sure, no problem..."
Playa - Male 2: "Yeah, that'll go real smooth."
Playa - Male 3: "Right. Piece of cake."
Nolan North: "Oh sure, no problem..."

— "Last Shield Down"

+Nolan North: "Let's do this..."

-Playa - Female 1: "I can do this..."
Playa - Female 2: "Here I go..."
Playa - Female 3: "Here goes nothing..."
Playa - Male 1: "Let's do this..."
Playa - Male 2: "I'm on it..."
Playa - Male 3: "Ready, steady..."
Nolan North: "Let's do this..."

+Playa - Male 2: "And what's that mean?"

-Playa - Female 1: "And that's supposed to mean what?"
Playa - Female 2: "And what do you mean by that?"
Playa - Female 3: "Meaning what?"
Playa - Male 1: "And that means what?"
Playa - Male 2: "And what's that mean?"
Playa - Male 3: "Meaning...?"
Nolan North: "And that means what?"

Playa - Female 2: "You care to rephrase that?"
Playa - Female 3: "Honey, I'm not that kind of girl."

Kinzie: "That can't be good."

+Playa - Male 3: "To Hell with him, Kinzie. Set me up with one of those training rooms."

-Playa - Female 1: "Eh, fuck him, Kinzie. How about setting up one of those training rooms for me?"
Playa - Female 2: "Ignore him, Kinzie. Can you set up one of those training rooms for me?"
Playa - Female 3: "Forget about him, Kinzie. How about setting up one of those training rooms for me?"
Playa - Male 1: "Forget about him, Kinzie. How about setting up one of those training rooms for me?"
Playa - Male 2: "Fuck him, Kinzie. Set me up one of those training rooms."
Playa - Male 3: "To Hell with him, Kinzie. Set me up with one of those training rooms."

— "Warden Defeated"

Training Room

Playa: "So what did I get? Teleportation? Laser vision? Bone claws?"

Playa - Female 2: "Come again? Are you putting in people who want to kill me?"

Kinzie: "I'll see if I can help with that."
Kinzie: "Okay. You should be able to recover from being knocked back now."

— "Knocked Back"

Kinzie: "Hold on, it looks like Zinyak added a shield to the Warden code. I guess you pissed him off."

+Nolan North: "Y'think? Tell me how to get around it."

-Playa - Female 1: "It's getting to be a habit. So how do I beat this shield?"
Playa - Female 2: "Well, we are not B.F.F.s. Now how do I get around it?"
Playa - Female 3: "What else is new. So how do I get around it?"
Playa - Male 1: "What else is new. So how do I get around it?"
Playa - Male 2: "So what? Just tell how to get around it."
Playa - Male 3: "Occupational hazard. Now how do I get around it?"
Nolan North: "Y'think? Tell me how to get around it."

Kinzie: "You'll need something more powerful than a weapon, so use your super powers to deactivate the shield for a short time. Then you can shoot him."

— "Blast Training Warden"

See, that works pretty well. Though the real thing might be a bit tougher.
