| 1 | DialogueInstituteMaxFirstGreeting | {Profound, with great important} You've arrived at a momentous time. | MaxLoken: Our third-generation synths are a true breakthrough, the culmination of centuries of research. | A | |
| 2 | NPCMMaxLoken: You've arrived at a momentous time. | Our third-generation synths are a true breakthrough, the culmination of centuries of research. | A1a | ||
| 3 | It's no exaggeration to say that they're superior in almost every way to human beings. | Player Default: What I've seen so far is pretty impressive. | A1b | ||
| 4 | Player Default: What I've seen so far is pretty impressive. | It's just the beginning. | MaxLoken: Like I said, a momentous time. | A1a | |
| 5 | Player Default: No robot is superior to me. | You might think so now, but just wait. | B1a | ||
| 6 | You've only seen a fraction of what our synths can do. Their potential is limitless. | MaxLoken: Like I said, a momentous time. | B1b | ||
| 7 | Player Default: What makes them superior? | The list of improvements is exhaustive. I can talk for an hour and still not cover all of it. | Y1a | ||
| 8 | Imagine what you could accomplish if you could live without fear of hunger or disease. | Y1b | |||
| 9 | Imagine what you could create if you could use every waking moment of your life as you saw fit, with no need of sleep? | MaxLoken: Like I said, a momentous time. | Y1c | ||
| 10 | Player Default: It's just the beginning. | Like I said, a momentous time. | A1a | ||
| 11 | - | {Emphasis on "I". Filling an awkward pause in the conversation... the player has stopped talking. } Well I think it's interesting. | |||
| 12 | {Proud, almost reverent} With our third-generation synths, we've improved upon humanity. | ||||
| 13 | {Proud, with a hint of arrogance} All our divisions are important, but I tend to think of Robotics as the first among equals. | ||||
| 14 | {Reverent} The synths aren't just Father's legacy, they're his gift to humanity. | ||||
| 15 | {Annoyed, blaming someone else} If you ask me, the synth software could use a little more de-bugging. |

| 16 | DialogueInstituteAlanMax1Scene | Come now, Alan. It could have been anything. | A1a | ||
| 17 | It was probably just a glitch in the nervous system. The fine motor control software could use an update. | Alan: If it were just a limb twitching, perhaps, but her eyes were moving as well. | A1b | ||
| 18 | Alan: You just don't want to admit to yourself what it is. | If you're about to launch into one of your impassioned speeches about artificial sentience and machines with souls, don't bother. | A1a | ||
| 19 | I've heard enough of them by now. Hell, I could write them down from memory. | Alan: But we can't just ignore the question. If a synth can dream, why can't it have a soul? | A1b | ||
| 20 | Alan: Of course, it's far more comfortable to think of them as machines, so we can do what we want with them. | If you disapprove of the work we do here, Doctor Binet, you know where to find the teleporter. | Alan: Now just a moment, I never said that. | A1a | |
| 21 | Alan: I'm simply trying to open everyone's eyes to new possibilities. | Well it's an unwanted distraction. | A1a | ||
| 22 | We're men of science, not philosophers. You'd do well to remember that. | A1b | |||
| 23 | DialogueInstituteRobotics2Scene | {Polite, asking for a favor} SRB's asking if we can prioritize the Courser musculature upgrades. | A1a | ||
| 24 | {Polite, asking for a favor} I'm swamped right now. Can you accomodate them? | Alan: I'll see what I can do. | A1b | ||
| 25 | {Polite, asking for a favor} Advanced Systems says the new linguistic software is ready for installation. | A2a | |||
| 26 | {Polite, asking for a favor} Any chance you can take that on? | Alan: I'll see what I can do. | A2b | ||
| 27 | {Polite, asking for a favor. Gen 1s is "gen (as in generation) ones"} Facilities has gently reminded us that the gen 1s are overdue for maintenance. | A3a | |||
| 28 | {Polite, asking for a favor} I was hoping you could handle it. I'm overtasked as it is. | Alan: I'll see what I can do. | A3b | ||
| 29 | Alan: I'll see what I can do. | {Resignation. You are taking on extra work.} Thanks. | A1a | ||
| 30 | Alan: I'll see what I can do. | {Resignation. You are taking on extra work.} Sounds good. | A2a | ||
| 31 | Alan: I'll see what I can do. | {Resignation. You are taking on extra work.} Alright, I'll let them know. | A3a | ||
| 32 | DialogueInstituteRobotics3Scene | Alan: Something about a twitch in the right hand that's affecting their manual dexterity. | Yes, I've seen the same thing myself a time or two. | A1a | |
| 33 | I made a note to look into it when there's time. | Alan: Sounds like you're on top of things, then. | A1b | ||
| 34 | Alan: Something about a twitch in the right hand that's affecting their manual dexterity. | I saw the message about that. There's a maintenance cycle coming up, so we can look into it then. | A2a | ||
| 35 | I'd do it sooner, but my plate's just as full as yours. | Alan: Sounds like you're on top of things, then. | A2b | ||
| 36 | Alan: Something about a twitch in the right hand that's affecting their manual dexterity. | I'll take care of it once I've worked through the other hundred tasks on my list. | Alan: Sounds like you're on top of things, then. | A3a | |
| 37 | DialogueInstituteRobotics4Scene | How's that personal synth of yours working out? I've heard that Liam's grown quite attached to it. | Alan: Not "it", Doctor Loken, "she." And she has a name. | A1a | |
| 38 | Alan: To answer your question, Eve has been an indispensable companion, both to Liam and myself. | {Concerned, a little patronizing} Alan, I know it's been difficult for you since you lost your wife, but don't lose perspective. | A1a | ||
| 39 | {Concerned, but also a lecture} A synth might look like a man or a woman, but it isn't. It's not healthy to become too attached. | Alan: Need I remind you, Doctor Loken, that in biochemical terms a human being is also a machine. | A1b | ||
| 40 | Alan: Need I remind you, Doctor Loken, that in biochemical terms a human being is also a machine. | Don't hide behind technicalities, Alan. I'm your friend. I'm not judging you, but others will. | A1a | ||
| 41 | Such behavior could be construed as deviant. You know where that will lead. | Alan: There's no need to get worked up over it, Max. I'm simply carrying out an experiment. | A1b | ||
| 42 | Alan: Only through close observation can I prove my hypothesis. | Alright, Alan. I'll trust your judgement on this. Just be careful. | A1a | ||
| 43 | DialogueInstituteRoboticsScene5 | InstituteScientist: Should I tell him that? | {Exasperated, annoyed / Stern} No, I'll handle it. I wouldn't wish dealing with that man on my worst enemy. | A1a | |
| 44 | InstituteScientist: Doctor Loken, we've received a work order from SRB. | {Curious / Puzzled} What do they need? | InstituteScientist: They're requesting replacement Coursers again. Quite a few, actually. I guess they lost a whole unit on the surface. | A1a | |
| 45 | InstituteScientist: They're requesting replacement Coursers again. Quite a few, actually. I guess they lost a whole unit on the surface. | {Upset / Irritated} Is this some sort of joke? This is the third time this month. Doctor Ayo can't keep using my synths so recklessly. I refuse to give him anymore. | InstituteScientist: Should I tell him that? | A1a |

| 46 | InstituteHolotapeSynthSpouse | {Professional, but concerned} I know that we've discussed this matter before, but I'm not sure I've made the extent of my concerns clear to you. | A1a | ||
| 47 | {Professional, but concerned} Many of us are increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of a synth living with Doctor Binet. | A1b | |||
| 48 | {Professional, but concerned} Frankly, many of us believe Alan doesn't understand how inappropriate his relationship with the third-generation unit is. | Player Default: I hope you'll consider having a word with Doctor Binet. | A1c |

| 49 | - | {Measured, uncertain. The player was promoted and you aren't sure it was deserved.} I honestly thought Doctor Li or Doctor Holdren would be appointed to succeed Father. | |||
| 50 | {Measured, uncertain. The player was promoted and you aren't sure it was deserved.} You have a lot to learn if you're really going to be the next director of the Institute. |

| 51 | - | {An admission... maybe you were wrong / Neutral} I had my doubts about you, but you're starting to erase them. | |||
| 52 | {An admission... maybe you were wrong / Neutral} You might just make a good director after all. |

| 59 | InstM03HiggsReassure | {Worried / Worried} Who's that in the control room? | Lawrence: Father's heir apparent. He made it past your impenetrable defenses. | A1a | |
| 60 | Lawrence: Father's heir apparent. He made it past your impenetrable defenses. | {Worried} But if he got that far... | Lawrence: Compose yourself, man. We've always known the risks, but we are still in control. | A1a | |
| 61 | Lawrence: Father's heir apparent. He made it past your impenetrable defenses. | But if she got that far... | Lawrence: Compose yourself, man. We've always known the risks, but we are still in control. | A2a | |
| 62 | InstM03OpenHydroDoor1 | Lawrence: What do you think, Max? | {Hopeful / Neutral} Even the most fastidious researcher must sometimes take a leap of faith. | A1a | |
| 63 | {Hopeful} I say let's give it a try. | Lawrence: Very well, then. Open the door and let's return to the fold. | A1b | ||
| 64 | Lawrence: Very well, then. Open the door and let's return to the fold. | {Shouting orders} Synths, abort command override and resume normal functions. | A1a | ||
| 65 | InstM03OpenHydroDoor2 | Lawrence: Max, no! | {Angry, firm, raised voice / Angry} It's over, Lawrence, and you're a fool if you can't see that. | A1a | |
| 66 | {Angry} Now unless you intend to shoot me, please stand aside while I put an end to this. | Lawrence: Future generations will remember this decision, Max. I'll make sure of it. | A1b | ||
| 67 | Lawrence: Future generations will remember this decision, Max. I'll make sure of it. | {Somber} I suggest we confine ourselves to quarters until our fate's decided. We can at least face the consequences with our dignity intact. | Lawrence: What choice do we have? | A1a | |
| 68 | {Angry / Angry} Enough! Have you lost your mind, Lawrence? | Lawrence: Max, no! | A1a | ||
| 69 | Max: Enough! Have you lost your mind, Lawrence? | {Resigned, admitting defeat / Sad} I'll do it. I'll open the door. | Lawrence: Max, no! | A1a | |
| 70 | InstM03ReactDoor | {A shouted warning / Angry} The door's unlocked! Synths, defense protocol one! | A1a | ||
| 71 | InstM03ReactGorillas | {Panic, shouting / Angry} The gorilla pen door is opening! | A1a | ||
| 72 | InstM03ReactGuardCombat | Lawrence: Look out! | {Panic, a shouted warning / Afraid} Quickly, take cover! | A1a |

| 73 | - | {Ashamed / Disbelief} I can't believe I let Lawrence talk me into that scheme. | |||
| 74 | {Ashamed / Apologetic} I regret what we did. In fact, I feel like a complete fool about it. | ||||
| 75 | {Contrite / Apologetic} I was wrong about you. I think you'll make a great leader for the Institute. |

| 76 | - | {Angry} Leave us alone. | |||
| 77 | {Defeated / Angry} I suppose we deserve this. | ||||
