Days 1-8

None

Day 9

• (Haruspex) Whose will has sent us this plague-hole? We are needed now at the front.
• (Bachelor) Whose will has directed us to this plague-hole? We are needed at the front, now.
• (Bachelor / Haruspex) They want to turn us from heroes of defensive war into a punitive expedition, into hospital attendants!

Day 10

• (Haruspex) We have two days left. The day after tomorrow it is necessary to make a decision. This is the order of the Authorities.
• (Bachelor) We have two more days left. The day after tomorrow a decision must be made. This is the order of the Authorities.
• (Bachelor / Haruspex) We did not hold council with The Inquisitor, though this is against the rules. I rely on the doctors.

Day 11

• (Haruspex) So... the soldiers have risen. They fill up the numbers of marauders, thinned by our efforts.
• (Haruspex) I cannot wait any more. In two days I’ve lost two-thirds of my army!

• It is impossible to allow a deceiver to play with our free will.

Pathologic Classic

Days 1-8

None

Day 9

• (Bachelor / Haruspex) Whose will was it that sent us to this plague-ridden hellhole? We're needed at the front line.
• (Bachelor / Haruspex) We fought a just defensive war and now they want to turn us into a punitive expedition. Into corpsmen!

Day 10

• (Bachelor / Haruspex) We have two more days. The choice has to be made the day after tomorrow. This is the order of the Powers That Be.
• (Bachelor / Haruspex) The Inquisitor and I haven't held council even though it's against the rules. I place my trust in the doctors.

Day 11

• (Haruspex) So... there's a mutiny. We thinned out the ranks of marauders... but now they've got new blood!
• (Haruspex) I can't wait any longer. I’ve lost two-thirds of my troops here in two days!

Day 12

• We're being manipulated.
• We can't let cheats play with our free will.

Pathologic 2

• We have two more days. Day after tomorrow, a choice must be made. So say the Powers That Be.
• I can't wait any longer. I've lost two-thirds of my troops here in just two days!
• Who decided we should march to this plague-ridden hellhole? We're needed at the front!
• We fought a just war and now they want to turn us into a sanitary expedition… into a death squad!
• Yes?
• What?
• A man like this can't command a regiment! If he wasn't such a wastrel, maybe…
• This is, after all, artillery. Fire from the heavens.
• War consumes a man like no other occupation.
• And so they attack, while our flank lies open. If our line breaks at Bronnik, we'll lose the fourth division…
• For each traitor in the senior army staff, there's a coward, two drunkards, and three idiots. And I'm not sure who's worse.
• Where did half the regiment go? God knows! Our couriers vanished into the fog of war…
• …A Brigadier General at twenty-seven. Still weighted with captain's bars…
• What do you call such a man? A slave. You call him a slave.
• An army marches on its stomach… and right off a cliff if need be.
• I make no promises regarding the taste. But it is warm.
• I feel feverish.
• Plans are worthless, but planning is priceless.
• The feet go slow when the head's full of snow.
• Worst of all, a coward. Always was a coward. Oh, how I hate it…
• I've had enough… I'm going to break, soon.
• My arms are stiff...
• We need… we need to get back to the front!
• Where are my aides? Where's my batman?
• Foolish, foolish. How foolish I was…
• The Inquisitor and I haven't held council, against protocol. I place my trust in the doctors.
• A man's nerves can only take so much.
• And the rain! The goddamn rain, does it ever end? Pouring and pouring and pouring and pouring…
