Messages from Heathcliff Flowen

Flowen was able to leave messages on the terminals in Episode II through Olga's AI. Here is a list of his dialogue in case you needed some emotion today.

"IT" is reference to Dark Falz. (Long lore/dialogue post)

1.) I am not sure who will be listening to this message, but… This message will explain the truth about the planet Ragol. My name is Flowen. Heathcliff Flowen, Deputy Commander of the Pioneer 1 military forces. Our mission, the migration to the planet Ragol, was going well. The environment of our homeworld, Coral, was deteriorating rapidly… The Pioneer project was launched to search for a new home. We arrived on Ragol, we began investigating its suitability to support life. We then began readying the planet for habitation. But, selecting this planet was a mistake. No… That may have been the plan, all along… Ragol… We have awoken "IT." "IT" was way beyond what we could handle. "IT" was not meant to be discovered. This cursed inheritance from the past.

2.) The first time I encountered "IT"… That was when… We were well into the excavation process of the ancient spaceship. We were researching the remains of an ancient civilization on Ragol… To find technology that could help advance our science. That was our mission. At least, I was led to believe that was our mission. While terraforming and construction of the Central Dome proceeded on the surface… The excavation project continued in secret. No one could've imagined the huge project going on right under them. After long hours of hard labor, the excavation team finally made it into the interior of the ancient spaceship. But the celebration ended shortly after. We encountered "IT." … Everyone on the excavation team died. No one has ever made it back from the ancient spaceship since then. We were finally able to confirm the existence of a hostile lifeform. With this knowledge, we created an attack plan to remove the creature. I will never forget. "IT" crawled up from a vast abyss of darkness. It appeared to be mutating as it moved toward us. It looked like its "body" was cycling through the stages of life and death. … The force under my command was completely demolished. I managed to escape, but… I was badly injured. My wounds move, as if they were somehow alive." I'd almost believe that my wounds were consuming my body to take control.

3.) "D-Type Factor" That's what Osto said when he saw this wound. He could barely contain his glee at finding this unknown lifeform. Then he said to me… "Would you consider donating your body to the government, "For the good of our people?" And I thought… If my body could serve to build a better future for our people… So I agreed to accept the request, under certain conditions. Osto was overjoyed, and he said to me, "Your body will be the subject of an official government experiment." … What he meant was, I would have no say in what happened to my body. For all intents and purposes, my life was over. "The government will send a message to your friends and family back home "to announce your death." That's what he said. Even after accepting the fate of donating my body, I thought about it… The young girl who followed me to explore this unknown world. She always looked up to me as a hero, even though I was just an old man. What will she think about my death when she finds out… Everyone will eventually forget about me. My death was announced to the world, and I was transferred here. Maybe that was the beginning of the end. This disaster… This decision I made to donate my body could trigger the chain reaction that will uncover the truth of the planet Ragol.

*grits teeth and sobs like a man*

4.) I had no knowledge of this facility, until I was brought here. I was transferred to this island, far from the Central Dome. Surface and the seabed… The island is one giant laboratory. All of the top scientists from Pioneer 1 were there, waiting for me. Dr. Osto, of course, and even Dr. Graves, the Photon engineer… This was all part of their plan. … Soon, the experiments began on my body. I don't know the details, but the research seemed to span many areas. And from the look on Osto's face, the results were fairly positive. But then… I heared news of another sub-lifeform outbreak from the ancient ship. … … "IT" was still alive. Now that I think about it… The concept of death doesn't apply to "IT." We just didn't understand. That is why the ancients have kept "IT." sealed inside that spaceship, deep beneath the surface of this planet. Mysterious Photons… An eternal lifeform… Now I can see why all the doctors were so excited.

5.) There's something strange about the air flowing through the facility… It seems that Osto's test subject has escaped. Rumor has it that it's infiltrated the ducts in the tunnels. Once there, it injected the factor into native animals and vegetation, causing the mutations. … The Island's control AI has also been infiltrated. In the tunnels… Not only are the creatures mutating, but the affected machinery is going out of control. It's only a matter of time until the Central Dome is affected. Yet, despite it all… Osto is preparing to begin the final stage of his experiment. … "Escaped subject and artificial lifeforms in the Seabed's cage… "they were all only part of the experimental phase. "Everything is going as planned. "All this outrage will be forgotten when the experiment succeeds." They're planning to create the substance that makes the sub lifeforms, with their own hands! There's one difference though… They're using a human core, in hopes of being able to control it. In other words, They're trying to make controllable "Bioweapons" based on "IT." What could the outcome possibly be, basing their experiment on something I know they cannot control, let alone even understand!? How could Dr. Osto even think of creating an experiment like this? … No. He must have a good reason for trying this. He must…

6.) Pioneer 2, carrying the remaining refugees, is approaching Ragol… … I have been betrayed by the government. One condition I asked in exchange for donating my body for the experiment was to send a message to the government on Coral, the homeworld. The message was… "Suspend the second migration to the planet Ragol." I should have known the message would never be sent. The people of Pioneer 2 will soon land without any knowledge of our current situation… I heard that there have been assassinations within the military. Probably the work of those blood thirsty dogs… Deputy Commander… hah! My blindness led to the deaths of my men… I realized too late how deep the roots of the problem lay. The Pioneer Plan itself. That's where it all began. But it's all too late now… No one can stop this insanity… … … I will no longer be myself in a matter of time… I hear footsteps… Someone is coming to get me. I have no will left to fight… My body is weak… … I'm fading away…

7.) [radio noise] … "…Explosion…" … "…Born from the abyss…" … … … "…Crew from Pioneer 1…" … … "…I could see them being engulfed…" … "…I could see it all from here…" *… [radio noise] "…I was already overpowered…" "…" "…Searching for…" … "…It saw my thoughts…" … "Something to serve as a focus…" … "…It wanted to evolve…" *… [radio noise] "…?" "…Why…" "…Left only that…" … "…No…" … "Not her…" … "…Not that girl…" … "…Please…" … "…Stop…" *… [radio noise] … … "…!…" … "…No…" … "…Couldn't stop…" … … … "…For all things…" *… [radio noise] … … "…She…" … … "…She'll…" … *. [radio noise]

8.) [radio noise] "…I am…" … "…powerless, yet…" … "…I have…" … "…everything…" *… [radio noise] "…In this dark abyss…" … "…I wait…" … "…for the savior of…" … "…the red captive child…" … "…My destruction…" *… [radio noise] … "…At the bottom of…" … "…the deep abyss…" … "…I wait…" … … "…Wait…" *… [radio noise] "…thcliff…" … … "…Flow…" …
