ProjectAshcroft2: Well well well
ProjectAshcroft2: You cracked it
PokeKiller2k: We got a little last minute help
ProjectAshcroft2: I suppose...Subject 28, correct?
PokeKiller2k: Perhaps
ProjectAshcroft2: Well, a deal is a deal.
ProjectAshcroft2: Project Ashcroft is officially done.
ProjectAshcroft2: Subject 159 will recieve corrective surgery.
ProjectAshcroft2: Well done.
ProjectAshcroft2: Thanks for helping us get this over with son.
PokeKiller2k: Why do I find all this a little hard to believe?
PokeKiller2k: You're just... Ending an operation from before the 80s?
ProjectAshcroft2: I bet you do. I'm General Stoffel.
ProjectAshcroft2: We've been trying to shut down Project Ashcroft for a while now.
ProjectAshcroft2: We needed some cracking done, though.
ProjectAshcroft2: You see, it was a simple genetics project in the 80's but when we closed it down, a few crazy workers stole the test subjects and continued it black-op.
PokeKiller2k: You didn't have to threaten to kill Aly, you know. We would've gladly helped, anyway
ProjectAshcroft2: I couldn't reveal my cover quite yet. As soon as we apprehend Ms. Francis, I'll make sure that Aly treated by the best doctors in the USA.
ProjectAshcroft2: We really couldn't have done it without you.
PokeKiller2k: Glad to help, General, anytime
ProjectAshcroft2: I suppose I should pay you back somehow?
ProjectAshcroft2: Let's see.
ProjectAshcroft2: ...
ProjectAshcroft2: what is your address?
PokeKiller2k: (EDITED OUT FOR OBVIOUS REASONS)
ProjectAshcroft2: I have a floppy disk you might be interested in.
ProjectAshcroft2: Well, thanks again.

 		Mantis, are you sure you don't want any coffee? It's Cafe Bustelo, and even though it's espresso-ground, it brews up real nice in a regular drip machine!
