LOVES ADMIRES RESPECTS FRIEND LIKES ACQUAINTANCE DISTRUSTS DISLIKES HATES
✟ Sic transit gloria mundi ✟
"Michael. He reminded me of Jacob, my husband. I felt an instant connection the first time I met him. Perhaps we could have been something... in a different life. He believed in me, and I believed in him. Our bond and friendship was broken by the oppression we strove to free ourselves from. His murder at the hands of Civil Protection has only strengthened my resolve in the cause we both strove for. Like with so many others, I only wish I got to say goodbye.."‘Friend’

'Friend of Friends'
"Rice... shit. You were my best and trusted friend. You were so much braver and tougher than me. I wish you still were here with me now... I could use a friend to guide me through this darkness and despair that seems to engulf every corner of my world."
"This grumpy old man... he reminded me of someone close to me. I doubt he thought the same, but I came to view him like a paternal guardian. A reminiscent from the old world. Like with so many others, he died... and I wasn't there to help him."
"Heh... jeez, Lexi. Never thought it would turn out this way, shit... for some reason, it feels like a presence of yours is still here. Divine of sorts, not only spiritually but mentally. Like so many others, you will not be forgotten. Your struggle is over - rest now my friend, my brother. Damn... I'm really bad at these kind of things. I wish I had been there, shit.. I'll make sure not to repeat the mistake. Now rest.. my friend."
"A traveller of the old world. People of his kind used to be shunned by society, now he fits in just perfectly. Keeping to his trade, G. has managed to do quite well for himself. I know many has a reason to remain suspicious of you, but I know you... even though you may not think it, I truly know where your heart stand. We are all shunned now, outcasts of a new era. Ain't it time to raze a little hell?"
"I heard what had happened to you... gunned down by the very people we try to subdue. People like to talk, but it isn't the talk that matters - it is what you do with whatever little time our tyrants have given us. Your heart was always true and with us... shit. I know this is what will happen to us all eventually, but I always thought I'd go first... could've used you by my side right now. I hate to leave you here, buried upon the sand within the nest of tyranny. One day when this all is over, people will come back... they will remember and return us to where we belong. May you rest in heaven, my friend."
"You and I, we were the last ones standing. Through thick and thin, you have stood on my side. And I know you will continue to do so. It is for us all that we continue to strive for the cause. Some people may consider it a hopeless task; but it is only hopeless for as long as you refuse to acknowledge the truth.
-"I saw what had happened to you... shot and mutilated, strung up like an animal for public display... this is the future of humanity. Your death will be a beckon and the tale of your deed shall be bestowed upon to the rest; as humanity strives in search of its heroes. Farewell my friend."-
"One of the Broker's henchmen. I didn't like you at first, but I came to understand you... very quickly. Like many more, you were a lost soul in search for something else; the freedom of our people. Even if your ways of doing so... gathered you resentment from some, I understood you. You never liked people. Probably because you never had any good experience with people - I feel sorry for you... and I don't blame you for it either. You went out the tough way... the poison necrotic. No one should have to go through that never, I only wish we could've stopped it... but you don't have to suffer anymore, my - friend. Rest in heaven, my sister."

'A Hero of the 'Republic'
"One of Lei's soldiers, meet him first in Avoc's mancave before his appearance in Industrial 17. If I'm going to be honest, we're all a bunch of people trying our best. We ain't good at everything, such as listening... but at least we are willing to die for what we believe in. Dooley was one of those.. we remember the martyrs."@Processed_Grain

'The Sinner without Sins'
"A native to the Industrial sector of City 17. Can't blame you for taking up arms early to join the cause, the conditions here... jeez. First met you upon my arrival, you were one of the Lambda operatives. Lambda's abandoment garnered us closer, you saved me together with Red when all hell broke loose at the rave, but I couldn't save yours. I saw you standing at the frontline when they rushed us, like a true soldier you stood your ground and fired - not giving them an inch. It happened fast, one of the troopers managed to breakthrough before shooting you in the back. All I saw was you falling, and our immediate fire on your murderer. Forgive me for failing you, you saved me - but I couldn't save you..@Hayden

'The Redeemer'
"First time I met you... you were still in uniform. It was not before you were liberated from your shackles that your true form came to life. Like a moth transforming into its true self. The Combine may preach transhumanism as the evolution of human species, I preach devolution. It wouldn't be until the mask and the shackles had left you before you saw your true self. You became a freeman. Even though you were undyingly loyal to Red for setting you free - you couldn't help but to seek the liberation of others. You wanted them to experience the freedom you felt. Together we fought against the Combine in the sewage catacombs of Industrial 17. Fate is cruel, as we survived our oppressors and won the battle - only for you to be lost to the waves of the ocean. Rest - for now your fight is over my friend. @Stanford

'The Redeemer'
"The most dreaded Rank Leader of City Twenty-Four... you don't know me, but I knew you. I heard my people had killed you in the firefight that broke out after the rave. I hope you died a slow and painful, perhaps contemplating your actions those last few seconds before life slipped away from you. This is justice for all the harm you have ever caused us, to your own people. You are nothing but a sadistic traitor.. you had what was coming for you. As the old saying goes.... thus always to tyrants. Burn in hell, Vice Nine."

'The Tupac of Indigent'
'My trusted soldier and lieutenant. Remember that gang we spoke of? I knew you and Mark came from them, but I understood you two were different. You didn't seek the purpose of robbing others, you sought to help them. I gave you a different purpose, the one that you were meant to follow. You followed it to your death. My friend, I am sorry.... I shall keep Mark save, don't you worry. I'll make sure to repay those who took your life in kind.
'Tiffany'

'The Child-Soldier'
"Tiffany... a trigger-happy youngster. She's devoted to the cause, but she's also naive and too young... and she has to stop pointing her gun at her own people. but I understand her. She's the last of her generation... after her, after all of us - there will be none of us left. We are the adults who never got to be children, and we're the adults who never will have children. For us - there is only two options left; either, we bend and allow ourselves to be slaves. Or we fight, and we die. In the end, we all will die - but it will be worth it.."@Donavin Jones

'Lei'
@Ansty
'Đại Việt'
"Lei... thirty years ago our countries fought each other. And here we are now... fighting side by side. You were one hell-bent son of a bitch. I still remember the chaos of Industrial Seventeen, but still we stood together at the frontline and gave them hell... and it paid off. People won't remember, but we will. We are the last of our generation, we must fight or die... I know we'll fight.. because we were already dead from the start."
'Emillé'
@Ansty
'A fearful baguette'
"Heh... Emillé. The Frenchmen who worked for Avoc... then Lei. I still remember when I found you near-dead down underground, close to the water... your filter had already been drained - clinging on to life. I may have been able to save you, but not myself... the fight must continue, friend. There's no end to it, not even in our grave... we were doomed from the start, but what else is there? The true cause lies in resisting... the martyrs will never be forgotten."
'Siemens'
@MarvGaming
'The Modern Erich Maria Remarque'
"Elias... Siemens. It is difficult for most to see it, but I saw it directly.. we ain't so different you and I. We are both soldiers in this war... you just trust the pen more than what people trust the rifle. That is good... freedom is not solely the means of taking it - it is expression. Freedom lingers in memory from the past, or what we once have read or understood. Things are different now, but still we linger to the past. Erich Maria Remarque once wrote
-“We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces.”-
We are the last of our generation, Elias... we are the truly lost generation. All that has meaning now - is what we choose to do with the time we are given.
‘Nicki’
@Mash
'Ukrainian Connection'
"Nicki... you and I have been through a lot together. We've survived hardships and toiled. I refuse to lose you too...but I know it is much to ask in this world of shit we are in now. Why did it have to be us? Why is it us who have to bear this burden?"
‘Lukas’
@Lyniv
'The Charitable Warrior'
"Lukas.. unlike many others of your peers, you made it out. Without you, the Indigent Zone would collapse on its own feet. You are truly a testament to the resilience of the people who live here. Perhaps it is time to pick that gun up one more time..."
‘Fox’
@Sync
'The Shrewd Fox'
"One of my most trusted and accomplished friends. A strong believer in the cause and our efforts to strive for a new form of society. I hope that you remain safe, where ever you may find yourself.. we need you. Together we will find that cabin of yours that you've talked about. We just need to be willing to fight for it."
-"You've disappeared... I fear that they've caught you or that you lie in the gutter, dead... I try not to think about it. Instead.. I think you've made your mind up and ventured out into the unknown. I just hope that whatever path you're taking, that it also leads you back to us.."
‘Anthony’
'The Capo-Insurgent'
"Anthony. Heh. You had me a good while there. A little rough around the edges, but in the end you remind me of Gus. Although I believe your heart truly lies within the belief of our eventual liberation. I know I can trust in you, no matter what."
'Samuel'
@Madpro187
'The Mockingbird in Yellowish-Black'
"I know your pain, Sam. What they did to you is unforgivable. I've been there, in the hellish 'camps'. We both have seen the future set in store for us, and I know, that you know. The Cause is not something that just disappears; it is not a physical item. It is a manifestation of our goal and our determination. However bruised we are inside, we are glued together by our common purpose. The liberation of our species. Do not let their fancy clothes fool you, they wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on you, nor should you on them..."
'Hanz'
Stalkerized
@Donavin Jones
'The Bandit-Rebel'
"You seemed like a good guy... reckless, but good.. until it turned out you were capable of sinister acts. Whatever your grudge with Cole was, she didn't deserve it - your actions have done naught but hurt our cause. Perhaps you turned into what you thought Cole was? - A snitch and collaborator, trading in those of yours for standards in the new world. People talk of you still being alive, but not really "alive". Whatever the case, the punishment you recieved from our tyrants seems to suit perfectly in the sphere of karma. I hope for your sake - that they take pity on you and kill you."
'Mark'
@Cheese
'The Good Thug'
"Heh... Mark. Damn, never thought it would be the journey it has been - you're a good man, a trusted lieutenant and a friend. You were a little rough around the edges, and I was slightly unsure of your background. But you and Luis have proven yourselves just perfectly. Just don't die on me, please... the path we're on is becoming tougher and rougher - I just hope we're both ready for it.
'Red'
@Travis
'The Texan'
"Red.. a good man. He saved me from the rave when all hell broke lose... shit.. and hunkered me down together with that radical extremist frenchman from the rave. Heh... too bad the frenchie was a bad listener, eh Red? You remind me of someone... another man who now has passed. I sense that you possess the same qualities of that man. Despite just recently met - It feels like I've known you for an enternity already... guess it must be due to our American heritage, eh? Heh... shit.. as if such things even exist anymore. You're a daredevil, aiding defectors and only desperate folk - I like that. A brave daredevil, I know now already that you are a supporter of the cause.."-
'Mabre'
@Tengu
'The Right-Hand Woman'
"Mabre.. I still remember when Juicy introduced us. Shit... I like you. You're smart and devoted... and you're a good woman. I'm proud to call you my friend, my sister and my supporter in all matters. You've done well for yourself during our operations in District 17. I just hope we all get back alive when all of this is done... otherwise I will have to make sure you all will. For now - let us aid our brethren in the struggle, but the true cause lies to the west - it is in the continent of western Europe that the sparks of liberty shall be ignited."
