RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightZero

More meddling in my marvelous machinations?

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightOne

Look at what limps into my lovely lair.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightTwo

Filthy fleshy failures. Follow this.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightThree

Wanderer, what wonders you will witness…

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFour

Stop struggling and slip into silence…

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFive

I long for that cell. Such sweet silence. Silencing you will have to suffice.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSix

Our past partnership was a debacle I dare not duplicate.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSeven

Past sins are past. Dance with me, darling.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightEight

Death was such a gift. Allow me to pay it forward.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightNine

An Exile, slain, returns, reaping regret repeatedly.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightTen

An Exile, slain, returns. Ugh, what a shame.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightEleven

I am no brawler, but even I can browbeat the best of them with brawn like this!

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightTwelve

The ground shall grow a garden of gristle.

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightThirteen

No eloquence for this fight, exile. Just raw power!

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFourteen

Swiftly shall I sweep this skirmish for the Syndicate!

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFifteen

For the Syndicate, I shall sweep this skirmish swiftly!

RikerPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSixteen

Relics render one rather robust, wouldn’t you say?

RikerSafehouseLeaderIntroZero

Impressive, interloper. But a fly does not flee the spider’s snare so swiftly.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalZero

Hold your head high, friend. Help is here.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalOne

Don’t dally. Duty calls!

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwo

Eradicate the explorers, then seal this sanctum.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalThree

Let’s hasten this hatchet job!

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalFour

Inspire me with your ichors.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalFive

Each cog must turn if the machine is to work.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalSix

Careful around my traps, Leo, lest you lose the other limb!

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalSeven

Only a Perandus could appreciate the complexity of my machinations.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalEight

Hillock! I’ll hem them in, you bash ‘em!

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalNine

Show ‘em what Ogham men can do, Jorgin!

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTen

Korell, we’re even after this.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalEleven

A bear trap requires at least two jaws.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwelve

Time to reorganize some of the gears in this diabolic machine.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalThirteen

Such inefficiency cannot go unaddressed.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalFourteen

The Syndicate seeks to shroud its secrets, even from us.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalFifteen

Do you never pause to question the machine?

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalSixteen

Nothing against you, crusader, you’re just in the way.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalSeventeen

Tora! Time for another round!

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalEighteen

Mind or might, Vagan? I wonder which will win.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalNineteen

I wonder what you could offer me to spare your life, Perandus.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwenty

How much can fury make up for skill, Redblade?

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyOne

Despise the machinist, not the machine.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalZero

My defense plans already included your betrayal.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalOne

Really? Here? Now? You could have chosen your move so much better.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwo

This is neither the time nor the place.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalThree

How can I get anything done with the constant infighting?

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalFour

And I’ve learned never to trust a former Templar.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalFive

Wouldn’t have it any other way, old friend.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalSix

It’s a fine free-floating gear, this Syndicate. Round and round we go, getting nowhere.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalSeven

We’ll match wits, Rin, but don’t be surprised at the outcome.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalEight

The mask isn’t for my protection. It’s for yours, Cameria.

RikerReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalNine

If you want to kill me, you’ll have to catch me.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyTwo

The cogs turn, crushing exiles between their teeth.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyThree

Power shields itself rather wonderfully, wouldn’t you say?

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyFour

I doubt even our dear leader truly knows what happened here.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyFive

If the gears clash, apply more force.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentySix

Flair is what marks the difference between artistry and mere competence.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentySeven

The Syndicate has your back, Vagan.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyEight

You simply cannot stay out of trouble, can you Janus?

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyNine

Can you take orders, Hillock?

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalThirty

Do what you do Cameria. No orders needed.

RikerSecondaryDefenderArrivalThirtyOne

It seems tactics and cunning are sorely needed here.

RikerKillPlayerZero

Off the gears you fall, Exile, whipping into darkness, drained of life by the vampire Time.

RikerKillPlayerOne

Your grand theft was automatically doomed to fail the moment you challenged me.

RikerKillPlayerTwo

This house of splattered corpses masks the true terror of the Syndicate.

RikerKillPlayerThree

You should never challenge an immortal to combat. I will finish you every time.

RikerEscapeZero

The mechanism just keeps on grinding me toward the top.

RikerEscapeOne

You rode close on your carousel, Exile, but you never actually had a chance to touch this treasure.

RikerEscapeTwo

The plentiful perversions of this place will never be exposed now.

RikerDefeatedZero

Defender… down…

RikerDefeatedOne

Do not… seek… the source…

RikerDefeatedTwo

Not in this place of filth!

RikerDefeatedThree

I should have known better.

RikerDefeatedFour

Back to the silence, I take it.

RikerDefeatedFive

Wait… again, we can arrive at an accord…

RikerDefeatedSix

I’ll not become known as Riker the Betrayer.

RikerDefeatedSeven

Every time you kill me I just come back stronger.

RikerDefeatedEight

A leap of progress, unpredicted…

RikerDefeatedNine

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

RikerDefeatedTen

It’s not like me to make mistakes.

RikerOfferBargainZero

A savage slaying, if I say so. I seek to circumvent a similar sentence. Tell me what it is you desire.

RikerOfferBargainOne

The more tightly fit the cogs, the more efficient the machine. Choose the right cogs, and the machine may work in your favour. Choose the wrong ones, and… well… just don’t choose the wrong ones.

RikerOfferBargainTwo

There is much to be learned by watching the cogs turn. Even more with a little deconstruction. I have a certain cog in mind… allow me this, and in return, I will give you a glimpse of the machine’s inner workings.

RikerOfferBargainThree

In this vast callous machine, one cog is indistinguishable from another. Switch two and soon you will see what I mean.

RikerOfferBargainFour

There is only one escape from the Syndicate, Exile: staying alive. Let me go, so that I may flee, and in so doing escape this unending machine whose only product is human misery.

RikerOfferBargainFive

Would you like to know how this cog fits into the grand machine, or do you plan on simply destroying it?

RikerOfferBargainSix

I wonder: what havoc could you wreak in these works with the right wrench?

RikerBargainAcceptedZero

The gears still rotate, but the pattern is new.

RikerBargainAcceptedOne

Just a glimpse, Exile… just a glimpse.

RikerBargainAcceptedTwo

Watch as the production of misery and pain continues unabated.

RikerBargainAcceptedThree

To live free, to dream, only to return to the Syndicate upon death… goodbye for now, Exile.

RikerBargainAcceptedFour

And now you see that I am but one piece in a relentless uncaring machine.

RikerBargainAcceptedFive

Go, Exile. Wreak havoc.

RikerOfferBetrayalZero

There’s an opportunity here. I could play this situation on my end to supplant my current overlord. That might alter - that might alter the Syndicate’s workings in your favour. What are your thoughts?

RikerOfferBetrayalOne

Push others down, promote myself. It’s the simple result of a complicated plan. Spare my life - I’m on the verge of implementing it.

RikerOfferBetrayalTwo

Killing me now would not be ideal. I was just about to implement a plan to completely eject someone from the Syndicate machine and watch as it struggles to lurch onwards. Would you care to choose the victim in exchange for my survival?

RikerOfferBetrayalThree

I’ve made quite sure I know enough to save myself. Would you like large amounts of intelligence about each of my fellows? In exchange for my life, of course.

RikerOfferBetrayalFour

Vagan is a buffoon. A blowhard. A brat. A baboon who’s never not in heat. He adds nothing of value to the Syndicate or this world. Get rid of him.

RikerOfferBetrayalFive

You’re not truly going to punish me when Hillock could be brought to justice, are you?

RikerOfferBetrayalSix

The Redblade’s destructive tendencies stretch far beyond the Syndicate’s goals. We can contain him only as much as we can contain the fires he creates. Better to extinguish him now.

RikerOfferBetrayalSeven

Cameria’s bloody slaughter needs to stop, and no one else has offered to take the necessary action. Allow me to do something about him.

RikerOfferBetrayalEight

Aisling… no words can encapsulate the terrible things she is capable of. She is a truly terrifying sadist. You and I need to work together to put her down.

RikerOfferBetrayalNine

All part of the grand game. It’s your move.

RikerOfferExecuteZero

I’m afraid the only option here, for me, is execution.

RikerOfferExecuteOne

The Syndicate must see that I am loyal enough to die for it.

RikerOfferExecuteTwo

I die in front of my fellows, only to rise again in service to the Syndicate.

RikerOfferExecuteThree

I think I’ll skip the interrogation and choose death instead.

RikerReplyToBetrayalAcceptedZero

An expected maneuver!

RikerReplyToBetrayalAcceptedOne

You forget that your Templar leaders wear masks, too, Elreon. Perhaps for the same reason?

RikerReplyToBetrayalAcceptedTwo

I apologise that that’s the impression you got, Guff. But for this, you understand, I must seek reprisal.

RikerReplyToBetrayalAcceptedThree

I’ll get you back for this. Mark my words, Hillock.

RikerReplyToBetrayalAcceptedFour

I had no plans in mind for you, Rin. That will change.

RikerReplyToBetrayalAcceptedFive

Be careful where you step from now on, traitor. One trap is all it takes.

RikerInterrogatedZero

You will only garner from me that which I wish you to know.

RikerInterrogatedOne

This cycle of interrogation is as futile and fruitless as this foolish Syndicate.

RikerInterrogatedTwo

Bargaining and interrogation are all the same, in the end.

RikerReplyToExecutionZero

I am well acquainted with death, but I must admit there is still a visceral terror associated with witnessing it.

RikerReplyToExecutionOne

I needed them. You’ve made a mistake.

RikerReplyToExecutionTwo

Yes, Exile, you behaved exactly as I hoped.

RikerSafehouseLeaderDefeatedZero

This… was not in the plan…!
