Here's a recording I took of one of the two Dr. Haldane videos in the Nemesis Reborn queue!
I absolutely love how the 1994 comic lore has been integrated into this❤️🖤
Full transcription of the video under the cut:
Hello? Hello? Nothing ever works around here. Got it. Okay. I’m Dr Haldane. You need to listen to me. My granddad was a professor of myth and folklore at the local college, and he taught me everything I know about Nemesis when I was growing up. Ever since that journalist Heather from Alton Star News turned up at his office with the talisman, the Phalanx have had this place in lockdown and my granddad... vanished. There’s something not right about the Phalanx, especially the new CEO John Dalton. Look, I needed to find out what they did to my granddad so I spent years studying science in order to infiltrate the Phalanx facility, working as an undercover genome scientist. I always thought maybe my granddad knew too much, that he was a... a… a threat to their entire… their operation. And believe me when I say… I was right. He did know too much. This whole thing, it’s a cover-up. They’re weaponising Nemesis, their greed for control and narcissism, it’s— it’s gone to their heads! They— they want to use Nemesis for their own military needs, and they haven't been caring for her. And I would know because they’ve had me sedate her, and manipulate her DNA, and she’s been reborn stronger, faster, and more dangerous than ever before. They think they can contain her but they can’t. That research facility, with the lifts, yeah, that’s the hatchery. They want global domination and they’re shipping her eggs out to all their sites around the world, and... and they want to train her offspring and use them for warfare! Strength in control? More like lies FOR control! Look, there’s a reason this area’s called Forbidden Valley! You need to get out of here! Spread the word, and Seek the truth!

Scottish novelist and poet Naomi Mitchison was born in Edinburgh on November 1st in 1897.
Best known as a novelist and social commentator, Naomi Mitchison also wrote and published poetry, much of which is rooted in her Scottish background.
Born to Louisa Kathleen Trotter and John Scott Haldane, a distinguished scientist based in Oxford, where Naomi grew up. The Scottish connection remained important throughout her childhood, and she spent many summers at Cloan in Perthshire, the Haldanes’ family home. Although her formal education was limited, she was steeped in an environment of scientific and creative enquiry which influenced her entire life.
Naomi married Dick Mitchison while he was on a short break from the Battlefields of Flanders in 1916, he was later injured in the war and it had a profound effect on the rest of his life and hers.
Both of them passionately wanted the post-war world to be a different and better place and were determined to do something about it, with explosive energy, Mitchison managed to write prolifically and variously; to work in the pioneer days at the North Kensington family planning clinic and for many other good causes. Her husband went into politics and she supported him and his socialist values wholeheartedly. He eventually went to the Lords and Naomi hated being called Lady Mitchison. The Mitchison house at Hammersmith was famous for its parties in happy or anxious times. The guest lists covered a wide spectrum from all walks of life, politicians, writers, lords, unknown proteges, refugees and strange lost foreigners from all over the world.
This generous style of hospitality continued at their Scottish home at Carradale in Argyll. The large house gathered in all kinds of waifs and strays among the famous and unreproached scroungers; and then the Mitchison grandchildren and great-grandchildren joined the mix. Naomi’s wartime diary, Among You Taking Notes… , is a vivid description of that period, and of her own pivotal role in it.
She would go on to become a local councillor and member of the Highland Panel, which began the process of Highland regeneration, but in both roles she was frustrated by bureaucracy and apathy, you can imagine The Highlands in the 60’s!
Mitchison was able to write anywhere, which helped because - as a compulsive traveller - she could get on with her writing on planes or in trains. She went to the US in the 1930s, because she was worried about tenant farmers rights; to Vienna in 1934 when the Nazi-era storm clouds gathered, and she smuggled letters from endangered people to Switzerland in her knickers. In 1952, she went to Moscow as a member of the Authors’ World Peace Appeal. She went regularly to Africa, especially to Botswana, where she was made a sort of tribal mother to the Bakgatla people and helped them practically. Wherever she was in the world, she seemed to have an instinctive understanding of the country and people around her, a remarkable woman.
In later years, she was sometimes anxious and depressed - not for herself, but for the future. She often said that two wars in a lifetime were too many. She was totally opposed to nuclear weaponry and was fearful that science would destroy, rather than enrich, mankind.
In old age, she watched many of her generation die: but with great generosity of spirit she visited and comforted many of them to the end.
Naomi Mitchison spent the last years of her life at Carradale, where she died in January 1999 aged 101.
Wester Ross.
Stone and rock Boulder and pebble, Water and stone, Heather and stone, Heather and water And the bog cotton that is not for weaving.
Peats uncut And the orange moss Under sharp rush And spiked deer-grass, Under tough myrtle And thin blue milkwort, And ever, ever, The silver shining Of the bog cotton that is not flowers.
The stones drop From the height of the bens, In the low houses Of the dead crofters The rafters drop, And the turf roof: Stone after stone The walls are dropping, And the bog creeps nearer With the bog cotton for the fairies’ flag.

Who is Dr. Haldane (from the Nemesis queue videos)?
So I've been thinking about Dr. Haldane nonstop all week so here's a quick explanation of who he is!
Dr. Haldane appears in the two queueline videos in the main queue of Nemesis Reborn. He is a genome scientist working for Phalanx, and the grandson of Professor Haldane, the professor of folklore and mythology from the Nemesis comic [1][2].
Professor Haldane (aka Haldane senior [3]) went missing after the news reporter, Heather Carver, brought the talisman to his office [1][2] – presumably in 1994. Dr Haldane (aka Haldane junior [3]) has since always wondered about the disappearance of his grandfather, and decided to become a scientist in order to infiltrate Phalanx to find out exactly what happened [1].
As a Phalanx genome scientist, he and others have been manipulating Nemesis’ DNA, resulting in her becoming stronger, faster, hungrier, and more dangerous[1][4]. Through his work, he has discovered that containment measures are failing, and that Phalanx plans to use Nemesis (and baby Nemeses) for their own military needs [1][4], which, coupled with the disappearance of his grandfather, have led to his distrust of Phalanx.
Dr. Haldane is the whistleblower! All the updates on Nemesis and Phalanx we have received via email since last year are from Haldane Jr himself [3]. This was confirmed by Truth Seekers on site. They also referred to Haldane Jr as “the original Seek The Truther”, in the sense that without the intel he gained and sent out, the Seek the Truth movement would never have become what it currently is.

On November 1st 1897 the novelist and politician Naomi Mitchison was born in Edinburgh.
Naomi Mitchison is best known as a novelist and social commentator, but she also wrote and published poetry, much of which is rooted in her Scottish background. Her Father, John Scott Haldane, a distinguished scientist based in Oxford, where Naomi Haldane grew up. The Scottish connection remained important throughout her childhood, and she spent many summers at Cloan in Perthshire, the Haldanes’ family home. Although her formal education was limited, she was steeped in an environment of scientific and creative enquiry which influenced her entire life.
In a life that spanned the twentieth century, Naomi Mitchison published over ninety books – novels, plays, short stories, poetry, essays, children’s fiction, travel writing, history and autobiography. As an active feminist and socialist, her writing was always politically engaged but she found that she had to promote her most radical ideals under the cover of historical or, later, science fiction. Her frank memoirs and the diary she kept for Mass Observation during the Second World War are important historical and social documents.
She wasn't afraid of controversy, her personal life drew as much attention as her work, from shocking contemporary convention in the 1920's by declaring her marriage an open one,she had continual fights with publishers who insisted on removing explicit references to sex from her books.Her novel, We Have Been Warned published in 1935,dealt with abortion and birth control was censored.
A rebel against social restrictions on women from her youth, she had a tendency to lash out physically at men to prove her point, once took a swing at the Labour Party leader Hugh Gaitskell and on another occasion whacked a dinner guest over the head because he asked the woman seated next to him to fetch his dinner from the kitchen, definitely a woman ahead of her time!
Married for 54 years and the mother of seven children, she was asked on her 90th birthday if she had any regrets. ''Yes,'' she said, ''all the men I never slept with. Imagine!''
She moved to a 300 acre farm at Carradale on the Mull of Kintyre in her late 30's, from there she "held court" to a influx of visitors, she made Mull of Kintyre a cool place way before Paul McCartney did!
There is so much more written about Naomi Mitchison, she preached that if intelligent people shouted long and loud enough at governments, she believed, truth would prevail. She travelled the world supporting injustice going to the US in the 1930s, because she was worried about sharecroppers; to Vienna in 1934 when the Nazi-era storm clouds gathered, and she smuggled letters from endangered people to Switzerland in her knickers. She ventured to the USSR hoping to find a socialist experiment that she could champion, sadly finding, amongst other things "a wasteful and repressive bureaucracy."
Naomi Mitchison died on January 11, 1999 in Carradale, Argyll aged 101.
