QuotesEdit
- "Built by an intelligence outside the settled systems." --After retrieving the artifact, Matteo's excitement leads him to ponder the existence of life beyond humanity's established territories. This statement implies a sense of uncertainty among humans regarding non-human forms of life while hinting that the conflicts waged in space were primarily among human factions rather than against extraterrestrial adversaries.

Andreja and MatteoEdit

Scene: | DialogueUCLodgeConvo_Scene03 |
- So, Andreja... Where did you say you were from?
- Hey, I forget... Where in the Settled Systems did you say you grew up?
- We were talking that one time, and you said you were from... where? I can't remember.
- I have never mentioned that. Ever.
- Where I grew up has never been a subject of discussion.
- I have never discussed that.
Matteo:
- Oh, okay... Sorry, must've confused you with someone else. If you ever want to swap stories, though...
- Ah, my fault. Bit of a mixup, then. Well, if you ever want to sit down and laugh about the good old days...
- No? Huh. I must have mis-remembered. Well, if you ever did want to talk about it, I'd be happy to lend an ear.
Andreja:
- Thank you, but that is not a subject I wish to discuss.
- No thank you. But I appreciate your... curiosity.
- I do not think so. But thank you for your interest.
Matteo:
- Okay. Gotcha. Good talk.
- Right, then. I'll just... go.
- Mmm-hmm. Some other time, then...

- Hey, Barrett. We're just doing some scans on the, uhh, the artifacts. Have you seen the, uhh... the thing?
- I was just going to do some scans, and I was looking... for, y'know, the thing.
- Hey Barrett, I can't find the... The thing, for scanning. Have you seen it?
- You're going to have to give me a little more to go on, pal. Which thing are you looking for?
- Matteo, we've got, like, several dozen 'things' that might be useful. Can you narrow it down a little bit?
- I would love to help you, but I'm going to need just a bit more information.
Matteo:
- You know, the... the thing. The one with the, uhh, the prongs? Is that what they are? The bit that sort of sticks out, with the... you know...
- Oh, come on, you know what I mean, right? The thing! The one that has the screen, with the dials...
- Ah, right. Well, it's the one with the plugs, and the little probe things that you clip on, and... uhh...
Barrett:
- You have no idea what you're looking for, do you.
Matteo:
- No, I do not.
- Not a clue. Noel told me, and I have forgotten.
- No, but I have good intentions. That should be enough, right?
Barrett:
- I will find you something to play with.
- Okay, don't worry. I'll track something down for you.
- All right, I will find and bring you an array of devices that may or may not serve your purpose. Sound good?

- Barrett! The book I left for you in your room is about the commonality of spiritual beliefs... did you have a chance to read it?
- My friend... I sent you a wonderful discussion about old Earth religious beliefs the other day.
Did you have time to listen to it? I found it to be very enlightening. - Oh... Barrett, have you already read that text I sent you on the nature of the human soul?
- Yes, Matteo. I'm aware of those philosophical stances already.
- I must have missed it... but it's okay, Matteo. I'm reasonably aware of these philosophies.
- Matteo, I mean this sincerely my friend... I don't think I need more information to understand the gist.
Matteo:
- I find it to be truly fascinating how so many beliefs have so much in common. Don't you?
- It is so interesting to me that all sorts of people came to similar conclusions.
- I love how similar themes about the goodness of humanity shine through in so many of these texts.
Barrett:
- Yet so much differs between the philosophies... surely that is also significant?
- Commonalities do not correlate to actualities, my friend.
- Seekers prefer the mathematical union of all beliefs... I prefer the intersection... the shared humanistic foundations.
Matteo:
- The differences in thought are situational based on the history of the people whose lives it enhances.
- I think about that too, but things involving humans may be flawed in translation, don't you think?
- I prefer to consider the intention of the beliefs rather than the precision.
Barrett:
- All of the data points should be considered, even or especially the ones that do not quite fit.
- If the conclusions are significantly derivative, there's probably a flaw in the hypothesis.
- If the methodology leads to alternative conclusions, perhaps the premise itself is flawed.
Matteo:
- I have the perfect text for you... it clears it all up. I'll leave it in your room when I have a moment.
- You are asking for a mathematical formula that creates hope, dreams, and love.
- I understand why you say that, but I think it is my own fault for not explaining better.
Barrett:
- All right, Matteo. We'll have to pick this up another time.
- Matteo, I love you my friend, but we'll have to continue this another time.
- You're a kind person, Matteo.
Maybe next time we should talk about sports instead, though.
Noel and MatteoEdit

- Hey, have you been up to The Eye recently?
- When's the last time you went up to see Vladimir?
- Have you talked to Vladimir recently? Face-to-face, I mean?
Noel:
- Huh. Guess it's been a while. Why?
- I haven't needed to go up there in a bit. Why?
- Haven't gone up there recently. Is everything okay?
Matteo:
- Oh, I just don't know how he does it. Up there all alone for so long.
- He just goes weeks without seeing anyone. It'd drive me crazy.
- I just wonder if it bothers him, being up there all alone. I sure couldn't do it.
Noel:
- Some people love that kind of space. Pun intended.
- I'm sure he's fine, but you could always give him a call if you're really worried.
- Aww, I wouldn't worry about it. He really loves it up there.
Sam and MatteoEdit

Scene: | DialogueUCLodgeConvo_Scene09 |
- She still won't tell me, Sam!
- No luck, Sam! I can't get it out of her!
- I got nothing, Sam. Nothing! She won't tell me!
Sam:
- Absolutely. Totally. Uhm, who are you talking about?
- Hang on. I think you're missing a noun there. Who is "she"?
- That's one way to start a conversation. So... who is this mysterious "she"?
Matteo:
- Andreja. I keep asking where she's from, and she keeps dodging the question. It's driving me crazy!
- Come on, you know... I've asked Andreja where she came from, and she just won't tell me. At all. I can't take it!
- I have asked where Andreja comes from, like a hundred times, and she just will not even give me a hint!
Sam:
- With tack [sic] like yours, it's a wonder she hasn't told you all her secrets by now.
- She's one of us, Matteo. No need to give her the third degree.
- Again with this? Matteo, you've... You've gotta let this go. It's getting unhealthy.
Matteo:
- No, I just... Something about her story just doesn't add up for me.
- I'm just saying... We don't really know a lot about her. It's weird, right?
- Come on, seriously. She's beyond secretive. It's weird!
Sam:
- You gotta let this go. Everybody's got things they'd rather keep to themselves.
- We all got a past here. Constellation works because everyone respects each other and let's [sic] the good ol' days stay in the good ol' days.
- If she didn't have secrets, that would be even weirder. Give her space.
Sam:
- Vladimir has vouched for her time and time again, and she's come through for us every time. It's okay to not know every little thing but still trust someone.
- From everything I've seen she's been a pure positive for Constellation. Heck, Sarah vouched for her. Good enough for me.
- Vladimir and Sarah both brought her in, and have never had a bad thing to say. So she likes to keep her distance - her prerogative. Just relax.
Matteo:
- Yeah, I guess you're right.
- Okay, yeah. You're right. I'll try and let it go.
- Yeah, I suppose. I'll try to not let it bother me... But no promises.
Walter and MatteoEdit

Scene: | DialogueUCLodgeConvo_Scene04 |
- Well, Khatri? Pilfered any priceless antiquities lately?
- Stolen any sacred relics recently?
- So, Matteo. Swiped any new religious texts?
- Very funny, Walter. You know Constellation's been keeping me busy.
- Haha, I don't have much time for that kind of thing anymore. So much to do around here, you know?
- You really aren't going to let it go, are you? I'm so busy with our work here that I don't think about it much these days.
Walter:
- I know you too well to believe that. You've got to have a line on something.
- Right, sure. You're telling me you haven't been on the lookout at all?
- I wasn't born yesterday, you know. I'd bet you have your eye on something.
Matteo:
- If you must know, there's rumors of an 18th century English translation of the Bhagavad Gita I was following up on.
- Well, okay... fine. I had heard that Buddha's Tooth may still exist. Was trying to find out if there's any truth to it.
- All right... There's a chance that a 15th-century edition of Aquinas' Summa Theologica is out there. I've been asking a few questions in my spare time.
Walter:
- Ha! I knew it. Well, best of luck.
- Maybe this one will turn out better than the last time, eh?
- Let me know how it turns out...
