Visitor Tapes (Season X)[]
| Audio | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| What the Seven of us are attempting is very risky. I suspect They are not the only ones watching. But it must be done or we lose the Bridge forever. | |
| I speculate that no one calculated the formation of the island. That interdimensional matter collisions would resolve rather than push. Now that I witness it first hand, it's obvious that pinching alone made it inevitable. | |
| When I hear this again, will it help me remember? Or once Looped will I be just as muted as the others? No matter - it seems the lengthy precautions worked. | |
| The (unintelligible) theorom was a success! I... us... you arrived outside the loop at the exact moment of expansion. This effectively paused the singularity, giving us time to create the devices needed to synchronize the Junction. | |
| What I didn't factor is that the only way to trigger the device was from within the Loop itself. Thus this hasty and primitive recording. And why now you... I find myself Looped. | |
| Activate the beacon at precisely the moment this timer reaches nothing. The Zero Point must be contained once more. If They are correct, it will be the end. |

|---|---|
| Everyone follow me to the bridge. We'll be safe there. | |
| It's fun to run for your life, huh? Great cardio. | |
| Let me get the door. | |
| Alright, let's move, everyone. | |
| Whoa! | |
| (heavy exhale) This is nuts! | |
| Don't worry, guys. I'll move the bus (straining) by myself... ungh! | |
| It's right up here, and I will give you a water break soon. | |
| Heads up! | |
| I know another way. | |
| What a day, am I right? | |
| Careful! Edges are hot. | |
| This is the epicenter of the Island, you guys. We're safe here. | |
| The surface is lost, but we should be safe here. | |
| It'll hold. | |
| It's rated for a thousand times atmospheric pressure. |
Audio Log (Chapter 3 Season 1)
Audio Log (Chapter 3 Season 1)[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Paradigm. Uh, it's me. I'm-- I'm guessing you heard what happened. | |
| Obviously we had more ambitious goals than simply flipping the Island. | |
| That was just one step in a scrupulously planned attack that would've reduced the Imagined Order to a smoking crater, to put it mildly, | |
| But, the reality left us exposed and overextended. | |
| If-- if they manage a counter attack before we recover, it’s over. All of it. | |
| Look, I know our history is... complicated... but I want you to know I never lost faith in you. | |
| Okay, I did. But only for five minutes, maybe. Maybe a few weeks, tops. Uh... | |
| It's hard to believe that someone who went through what you went through would hold the line... | |
| But I-- I know you did. (sighs) | |
| So we really do not deserve your help right now, not at all, but we need it. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| This is the Scientist broadcasting on The Seven secure channel. At oh-four-hundred hours, we received a ping from The Paradigm. | |
| Still need to confirm authenticity and verify that we're not being hacked, spoofed, tricked, or otherwise deceived, | |
| But I believe it's the real deal. | |
| I know that among our ranks there are still some mixed feelings about The Paradigm | |
| But for the sake of survival we need to think of her as an ally. | |
| We are The Seven. We have a duty to rise above grudges and petty disagreements for the greater good. | |
| And yes, Foundation, I'm looking at you. I can see your face through that mask. | |
| Regardless of the past, there is no future without her. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Hey, uh, Paradigm. Uh, it will not surprise you to learn that you remain public enemy number one for The Seven. | |
| I-- I’m trying to convince them to welcome you back with open arms, but I can't promise that it’ll be a cakewalk if you come back. | |
| I'll do what I can... | |
| And this time, I'll have your back no matter what. | |
| Like I should've the first time. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Hey, Paradigm. So, um, so far I have refrained from laying a guilt trip on you like my mom used to do, which you should appreciate, | |
| Or should have appreciated, because those days are over. | |
| We have reports of seismological disturbances from the underside of the Island. | |
| That leads me to believe that the Imagined Order are not only active, they're gathering forces. | |
| The Imagined Order is playing with a fire that will consume every world we know, and every world we've yet to discover. | |
| So, hurry home... while we still have one. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| This is The Scientist broadcasting on The Seven secure channel. How's everybody doing out there? | |
| Paradigm has accessed her navigational accounts and appears to be preparing for a long journey. | |
| It is impossible to know her intentions, but I strongly suggest we prioritize all Paradigm-related engineering. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Greetings unauthorized trespasser. | |
| It's come to my attention that you are intercepting sensitive communications meant only for The Seven and our allies. | |
| A crime which you will now pay for with your life. | |
| I'm kidding. | |
| It's actually good for you and The Loopers to understand the gravity of the situation. | |
| We stand on the brink of annihilation, to put it lightly. | |
| Not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but soon we will be at war with the Imagined Order. | |
| The Seven will lead the way, and it is my sincere hope that you will follow us into battle. | |
| When that day comes. | |
| But today, is not that day. | |
| Today we have peace. I suggest you enjoy it while you can. | |
| Learn everything you can about the Island. | |
| Gather your allies. | |
| And stand ready. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Paradigm, it's me again. Uh, this is my final message. | |
| Everything, and I mean everything, depends on you now. | |
| You've always been so much more than just our pilot. | |
| In our darkest days, you brought us hope. | |
| You brought us together. | |
| And after everything you've been through, I wish we didn't need you to suit up again. | |
| But we do. We really do. | |
| All reality is yours to save... You know, that's it! Just all reality. | |
| You just need to come home. |
Chapter 3: Season 1 Quests
Chapter 3: Season 1 Quests[]
Discover The Device[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Hey! Scientist here. | |
| Am I the smartest, handsomest member of The Seven? A lot of people say "yes." | |
| With the best hair? Don't answer that. | |
| Hold onto this device. | |
| As we prepare our battle plan, we’ll have work for you. |
Place Surveillance Cameras[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| You may have noticed the... big guy’s new statue. | |
| No comment, by the way, but they definitely hired someone on discount. | |
| I need you to figure out who keeps vandalizing it. | |
| I suspect Loopers. | |
| Specifically, the big banana guys. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Thank you. Very thoughtful for angling this camera at banana height. | |
| Oh man, look at that juicy lens flare. |
Drop off Supplies[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| You know the blonde dingdong in the suit, “Agent Jones”? | |
| Well, there’s more of him. | |
| And they’ve started their own society of dorks. | |
| So, how 'bout bring them some supplies as a peace offering... | |
| And then scout their camp to assess the threat level. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Well look at that! A little drawing of Slone! | |
| And The Foundation! | |
| With knives pointing at them! | |
| It's probably nothing... | |
| Oh! Here’s what we’re looking for! | |
| A declaration of independence. | |
| They won’t fight for anyone anymore. | |
| So it seems like they’re disgruntled about being made to fight in a neverending loop. I get that. | |
| I've got an idea. Let's buy their loyalty. |
Destroy Signal Jammers[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| So, hey! We left some "wartime essentials" in the ol' endless void of space... | |
| So we’re launching a retrieval rocket. | |
| Problem is, somebody really doesn’t want us to do that. | |
| I have my suspicions about who that "someone" might be. | |
| Destroy all three signal jammers. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| WAIT! I CHANGED MY MIND! | |
| I'm just kidding. | |
| I knew I could trust you to destroy priceless scientific equipment. (whispering) I'll send you the bill. | |
| Nice work. | |
| Hey, if we find what we’re looking for up there... | |
| I’ll ask them to bring you a little space rock as a treat. |
Collect readings from Seismometers[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| I’ve detected some unusual seismic activity. | |
| Maybe the Island has a nervous stomach after its little gymnastics routine. | |
| Or maybe it’s something worse. | |
| Would you mind hiking up those perilous, deadly mountains? | |
| I need you to check on my seismometers. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Hey, do you mind making your heart beat a little quieter? | |
| It's kind of muddling my scan. | |
| I got my data, and you got your steps in. Win-win. | |
| A real scientist never admits when things aren’t looking good. | |
| They just say, “Huh, that’s different,” and quietly retreat to their lab to try and fix it. | |
| So… Huh, that’s different. |
Destroy and collect telescope parts[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| So, our first rocket recon mission failed. | |
| But you know what they say... | |
| When one launchpad door closes, another one opens. | |
| ...and behind that door, there’s a bigger rocket with more telescope parts in it. | |
| Which you will go and source for me. | |
| Right now. | |
| This is very exciting for you. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| This’ll really improve focusing power. Plus I can paint some racing stripes on it. I mean, not me. I know a guy. | |
| Yes! | |
| Watch out, guidance sensors! You're about to get a brand new internal magnet system. You're welcome. | |
| Ugh. I love telescopes. | |
| I wish I had forever to build this one. | |
| But, you know, impending doom and all. |
Eliminate an IO operative to collect a data card[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| The enemy has recruited new spies, and I’d like to know who they are. | |
| The Imagined Order Guard suits are programmed to recognize friendly agents. | |
| So... Um... | |
| Could you, if you would, gently, softly, and permanently eliminate one of them? Thank you. | |
| Bring the suit’s keycard to me, and we’ll pretend this never happened. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| That’s the keycard. | |
| Quick, run away from your problems! | |
| Well the good news is you’re not on the list! | |
| I will now reward your loyalty by disappearing into my lab to do more important work. |
Destroy IO Equipment to collect Electronic Parts[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| So, the rocket… It failed again. | |
| I optimized the navigational algorithm myself, so it wasn’t a design problem. Don't point the fingers at me. | |
| The Imagined Order sabotaged us, and I’d like to know how. | |
| Disassemble their tech and bring the pieces to me. | |
| I’ll reverse engineer a solution. | |
| I'm, like, super smart. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Wow, thank you. This should be more than enough for me to study. | |
| Hey, any interest in being lightly electrocuted for research? | |
| ...It’s okay, I got a guy. |
Plant explosives near giant drills[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| I know what you’re thinking. | |
| "Oh, great and powerful Scientist..." | |
| "Why haven't you done anything about the drills all over the place?" | |
| Well, those drills were too small to be causing our seismic complications. | |
| But things are more tectonically precarious now. | |
| So I need you to destroy them for the safety of the Island. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Ugh, a quad-core plasma engine? What is this, nineteen eighty-two? | |
| Hopefully the Island will stabilize. | |
| Until then, let’s refrain from messing with anything. | |
| No drilling, or digging, or planting flowers, and please don't litter. |
Find and protect The Black Box until the message is decrypted[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Rocket Launch 3 was a success! | |
| I did it! | |
| ...With your help. | |
| Tiny snag... | |
| A...colleague embedded a secret message for me in the black box. | |
| Which would be fine, except the black box fell off. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| (relieved sigh) She’s okay. | |
| If this message is accurate, I’m gonna need your help again like very, very soon. |
Plant Space Rocks to help The Paradigm identify dead drops[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| So remember that message from the rocket’s black box? | |
| It was from Paradigm. | |
| If we’re going to pull this off, we’re really gonna need her help. | |
| Well... I'm gonna need her help. | |
| I’ve set up dead drops for her around the Island. | |
| Your mission is to mark them with space rocks so she can find them. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Nice rock placement. Very natural. | |
| She’ll be able to tell the difference from all the other rocks, right? | |
| (to self) ...If I can coax her out of hiding… | |
| Oh, you're done! | |
| Great. Hey, keep a space rock on me. Thanks very much. | |
| (to self) ...She'll have to rewire it... |
Vibin' Quests (Chapter 3: Season 3)
Vibin' Quests (Chapter 3: Season 3)[]
Part 1[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| So you freed the Zero Point. That's great! Or, you know, maybe it has a horrifying unintended consequence. It could go either way! | |
| It's probably the first thing. Which reminds me - we should celebrate our decisive victory with a party. | |
| You get to the venue while I do some back-of-the-napkin astrophysics. Just to be sure our doom is no longer impending. | |
| Wow, the setup crew did not do their jobs. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Hey, can you finish this? I don't really host parties. I'm more of an "esteemed guest of honor" type of guy. | |
| Well, they didn't forget the party poppers! These things are the worst. But they're very effective at getting a party started. | |
| Why don't you guys set 'em off while I run these numbers again, because that cannot be right. | |
| Oh! These things are kinda fun when you're the popper instead of the poppee. | |
| Huh. Maybe I would have liked these at my birthday after all. | |
| Enjoy the party, my favorite, and only surviving, research assistant... | |
| Because after this we're going to need to look into a few things, so... don't drink too much. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| I'm getting complaints from Loopers about the old Imagined Order junk all over the place. | |
| I'm very busy with the very scary theoretical modelling, and I'm trusting you to handle this. | |
| Ugh, this is gonna take forever. And I have way more important things I need you to work on right now. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| We need a simple, fast solution. Something anybody could do, even Peely... | |
| Got it. Turn this pile of junk into a modern art installation. | |
| Wow, is that a neo-dadaist intepretation of the Fluxus movement? | |
| Because it's hideous! But a different type of hideous than it was before, so... mission accomplished. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Look, I loved saving reality as much as the next guy, | |
| But if I had known it would eventually lead to me studying plants like some Punnett-squaring seed freak, | |
| I woulda weighed my pros and cons a little longer. But here we are. | |
| (sigh) So, can you find a seed for me? I need to run some tests. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| (to self) Can't believe I'm about to participate in this joke science. | |
| Maybe it reacts to different biomes? Plants do that, right? |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Throw the seed for me. It should either take root, or open a rift, or destroy time. It's hard to say. | |
| Now, we play the waiting game. And the watering game. And the pruning game... It's all the plant games. |
Part 2[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| First thing's first: everything is fine. And you should not tell anyone otherwise. | |
| I'm definitely not concerned about the sudden explosion of biodiverse flora across the Island. | |
| I'm sending you out to get these energy scans of the Reality Tree just for fun. Got it? It's fun! | |
| Well that's a LOT of Zero Point energy. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| And the roots... are... pulsating ominously. (laughs sheepishly). It's cool... | |
| Wow. That's... That's normal. Right? It's normal. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Grab another scan for me, please? I'm training a new AI and she might want some data to crunch on as a snack. | |
| This is fine. | |
| The Zero Point is just... doing it's thang. What thang is that exactly? Why am I not saying "thing" instead of "thang"? Look, it's a secret. | |
| I can't get over how normal my stress level is feeling right now! |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| It's time to root around in the dirt like a loam-loving gardenmonger. AGAIN. | |
| Well, turns out if you take care of these things, they grow! | |
| I need to talk to someone. Someone who speaks plant. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| I have a plan to get us a man on the inside of all of this Reality Tree Zero Point stuff. | |
| You've met Bushranger, right? Plant guy, struggles with grammar, willing to sign any release form I give him? | |
| I secured permission to take a clipping, maybe a fingernail, of his newest form to the Reality Tree... Just to see what happens. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Oh, if you wouldn't mind, could you take our brave volunteer to the big scary tree radiating Zero Point energy? | |
| Okay Bushy, I need you to start keeping a sleep journal, food journal, dream journal... maybe a vision board? | |
| Oh, you did. Let's see what you've got. (reading) "Darknessdarkness big scary." Huh. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| Hey, you wanna help me grab some Zero Point energy readings? I could use a sounding board. | |
| So the Zero Point energy across the Island is... Unprecedented. | |
| Best case scenario, I publish a brilliant paper and get a ton of awards. | |
| Worst case scenario... Well, you can guess. | |
| I feel like the Zero Point is trying to tell us something. | |
| And if I don't figure it out in time... Who will? | |
| I'm beginning to think that maybe freeing the Zero Point was a mistake. | |
| I thought I had all this math right. But clearly I missed something. | |
| Ultimately, if something goes really, really wrong... It's my fault. |
Part 3[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Uh, I've got some great news. The Reality Tree is barfing up weird weapons I don't understand. | |
| So, should we... try 'em out? Mostly for scientific research. But also, you know, they're weapons and we're here and they're here. So, why not? | |
| THE SCIENTIST: You still have all the body parts you had before? | |
| Good, 'cause some of these things look like they could take a hand off. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Uh, we've got some visitors. Foundation calls them "Stormtroopers." I call them... also Stormtroopers. | |
| I'm too busy to hand out nicknames for free. | |
| I'd like to find out why these guys are here. I suspect it's related to the Zero Point's ongoing... freedom issues. | |
| THE SCIENTIST: It sounds like the Zero Point brought an ultra-powerful Relic from their reality to the Island. |
Part 4[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Guess where the Relic was? And if you say "the last place you looked," I will be forced to electrocute you. Yep. That's just how it goes. | |
| It was in the ocean, but given our seasonal currents, it's washed up on shore by now. So go get it, champ! | |
| THE SCIENTIST: It's gone? Ugh, of course it is. | |
| Well, my dozens of '--ometers' can't be wrong, so that means somebody took it. | |
| THE SCIENTIST: Looks like a clue to me. Why don't you grab it? | |
| THE SCIENTIST: I'm getting more questions than answers. | |
| THE SCIENTIST: Alright, I've seen enough. | |
| I'm gonna go pay a visit to that coaster jockey. This seems like his kinda thing. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Amie, where are you? What was that?! | |
| THE SCIENTIST: (a little flustered) I.. Uh... Thank you. What? No. Wai-- Aren't you supposed to be charging? |
Part 5[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Thank you for helping Amie secure that Relic. She's great, right? | |
| I mean, extremely intense, and she won't stop calling me "daddy," but you know... she's still in beta. | |
| So anyway, I found another Relic. This one's broken into three pieces at the temple. | |
| I'm sending you and Amie to look into it. And maybe you could take her out for an ice cream or something. |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Amie tells me you attuned all three shards. | |
| Somebody's been reading the Shardonomicon. (beat) I mean, probably her. But somebody's been reading it. | |
| Go to the temple's main chamber. It should have somewhere to combine these shards. | |
| THE SCIENTIST: There it is again. Another Zero Point energy shockwave. Magnitude 7.2! | |
| The Zero Point has gotta be bringing these Relics here because it wants us to have them, right? | |
| And, uh, you didn't hear this from me, but since we're almost-friends... Now is the time to be worried. |
Part 6[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Amie and I have been at Synapse Station studying this Relic situation. | |
| The Zero Point is definitely, probably intentionally summoning these Relics. But we're not sure why. | |
| Fortunately, or unfortunately, another Relic has just made landfall on the Island. Maybe this one speaks Zero Point. | |
| Let's make this a nice, clean Relic extraction, okay? | |
| THE SCIENTIST: Of course it's shielded (laughs humorlessly). | |
| I'm tasking you and Amie to figure out how to break that shield. | |
| In the meantime, I gotta speak to The Foundation about all this. He picked a bad time to stop answering my calls. He's ghosting me! |
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: That was a magnitude 8.5 shockwave. Detectable from light years away. Amie? | |
| THE SCIENTIST: I told you that is not an improvement. | |
| THE SCIENTIST: When this is all over I'm reprogramming you. | |
| (exasperated) Okay, this is... I don't know... Next time we talk, I'll have some answers. |
Part 8[]
| Audio | Subtitle |
|---|---|
| THE SCIENTIST: Paradigm. If you're listening to this... It means I'm gone. | |
| I don't know where they took me. And I don't know if I'll be back. | |
| I promised we'd never leave you alone again. And I promised freeing the Zero Point would be safe. | |
| Everything's my fault. So whatever happens to me, I deserve it. | |
| I programmed Amie to take care of you and whoever's left. I hope there are people left. | |
| I'm sorry it ended like this. I've always-- (radio static) |
