Synopsis:
This dialog plays at the start of the Ketheric boss fight in the Colony. There are numerous permutations here: Nightsong being dead or alive, freed from her soul cage (through stealth before being spotted); Isobel being absent or tadpoled or tadpoled and killed (in the boss chamber) before entering the dialog; Jaheira being present here (and spotted) or being absent.
How to trigger:
loadlevel SCL_Main_A ; goto 833 -47 -25
The Chosen Three cinematic will play first and set up some important stuff. After this, the dialog may start in several ways: 1 - get spotted by the (neutral) enemies in the boss chamber; 2 - start combat with anyone in Ketheric's combat group; 3 - free Nightsong from her cage (this should pull you into combat with her). Before triggering the dialog, the player might kill Isobel from stealth or destroy Nightsong's cage.
Use the debug commands mentioned in the Act2_COL_KethericShowdown goal.
