Synopsis:
Introduction to the last fight of the game against the Netherbrain. This dialog plays once the players enter the last combat arena, after the upper high hall escalade.
Player climbs to the top of the Netherbrain. We see the Crown of Kharsus and realise that's where we need to cast the spell to dominate the brain. If the Emperor is against us, it appears, enthralled to the brain, and raises an army of daisies. If the Emperor is with us, the Netherbrain raises a bunch of super-thralls trained on our exact weaknesses.

150. Player: Wait. We could end this now if you unleashed the orb.
146. : And I would die in the process, just to win the favour of a goddess who scarcely cares for me. We discussed this at length - I thought you and I were of a similar mind.

256. : You're right. The orb is the only way. All that's left for me to do is spirit you away to safety. Are you ready?
