20. : I want to live to fight it. Not burn out before I get the chance.
12. : I've got a long list of evil fucks to deal with. And I'm not going out until I do.End

31. Player: We won't let that happen.

0. Player: If you're going to explode, I suggest you stay far away from me.
29. : I'm more likely to implode than blow up, more's the pity. Wouldn't mind taking out a few cultists on my way out the door. But better if it doesn't come to that.
21. : I need to find an infernal mechanic - quickly. I'm hanging on, but just by my fingertips.
