Synopsis:
Updated recruitment dialogue for Gale, post-EA.
Gale's arm appears from the waypoint teleporter near the nautiloid crash site. From the other side of the portal, he asks the player to grab his hand and pull him through. If they help, he can be recruited to the party, and will talk about seeing the players aboard the nautiloid.
There is a Dark Urge moment in this dialogue, in which they can cut off Gale's arm before he is revelaed, killing him.

48. Player: Never mind the nautiloid. How did you get stuck in that stone?
93. : I don't know what transpired exactly, but the ship broke into pieces and I suddenly found myself in freefall.
2. : As I was plummeting to certain death, I spied a glimmer quite near where I estimated my body to impact with less-than-savoury propulsion.

190. Player: To be honest, I haven't a clue.
