The InterLoper:

1. “Huh.”

2. “That’s either really good timing… or really bad security.”

3. “Definitely different from last time.”

4. “You sound surprised.”

5. “Fair enough.”

6. “The island’s still here. The scientists are panicking. The soldiers aren’t very friendly. I’d say everything’s going according to plan.”

7. “That’s actually why I’m calling.”

8. “Nothing happened. That’s the problem.”

9. “The suit works exactly like you said it would. My memories are intact. I remember who I am. I remember why I’m here. I remember everything.”

10. “But remembering the Loop and escaping the Loop are two very different things.”

11. “The suit protects me from the memory wiping effects, but it doesn’t actually let anyone leave.”

12. “Yeah.”

13. “Pretty sure I’d know if I escaped already.”

14. “So unless you’ve got another plan hidden somewhere, I might have to force my way out.”

15. “I might have to break the sky.”

16. “That’s not a no.”

17. “Then I’d love to hear a better idea.”

18. “That’s what I thought.”

19. “Neither do you.”

20. “And that’s exactly why I’m going to.”

21. “Now we’re getting somewhere.”

22. “You’re helping because you know it’ll work.”

23. “It’ll do.”

24. “Almost there.”

25. “Guess this counts as an emergency.”

26. “Barely. The mountain’s killing the signal.”

27. “Unless you’ve got a better idea.”

28. “I already have.”

29. “I noticed.”

30. “There never was.”

31. “Here goes nothing.”

32. “Here goes everything.”
