Transcript of Once More Into the Breach
Before Voyage
- Player: There's been news from the mining site.
- The Architect: Further attacks?
- Player: Not quite. The creatures only attack when mining is being done. Once mining stops, there are no attacks.
- The Trapper: Most enlightening. Perhaps the miners are encroaching on the creatures' territory. The little scallywags sound like they're defending something.
- Player: Regardless, mining needs to continue, which means your help is needed. We have a boat waiting for you all.
- The Chef: Is there time to load up on a few snacks?
- Player: We are already fully stocked, Carlos. Cook on the way if you can. The miners deserve some good food in their bellies.

After Voyage
- Player: Any news from the site?
- The Architect: Yes! We managed to get hold of the...what do you call it, Reginald?
- The Trapper: Goop.
- The Architect: We managed to get hold of the 'goop': the substance the creatures dissolve into when they die. The others seem very protective of the stuff.
- Player: Curious.
- The Chef: I think they're smarter than we give them credit for.
- The Trapper: Undoubtedly. We also found out what they're protecting. They eat the mineral that we're mining.
- Player: They eat rocks?
- The Architect: More like 'absorb' them. They are feeding on the same property that resists vibration.
- Player: So, to save your town from earthquakes, you have to starve an entire species.
- The Architect: It leaves a bad taste in the mouth, but I can see no other option.
