ERS would have had NPC scientists, however technical limits forced me to only have combat related NPCs. It was a tough decision. This is a set of animations that would have been used for scientist panic. Original desc: Scientist panic, idle and cower animations "Hello (name acc. player type.)" "Did you finally get the beverage machine to work?" "Please tell me the copier isn't out of paper." "Yes." "No." "This stress test will be just like all the others, right?" "What's with this electromagnet status report?" "You think a solenoid electromagnet is damaged? Pfft." "Did you finally submit that paper?" "A fellow scientist." "Oh no. I'll have to redo that experiment again. Oh well." "Alright, engie boy. Have you gotten the beverage machine to work?" "Is something burning?" "I saved my work, didn't I? Oh no." "I was mining bitcoin!" "Ugh. Reactor Operations must be to blame again. Pushing that poor tuna can to it's limits, dabbling in god knows what. They have no common sense, I'm telling you!" "I'm standing right here." "Can't access my account, can't check my email or submit that report. My passcode is the same as always, why isn't it working?" "Electromagnetic confinement seems fine, except for this one discrepancy in the central solenoid. It probably isn't a problem." "You think I have time? If I don't get this report to upper management, my job will be in jeopardy, and yours too." "That time you fought off protestors with that crowbar was awesome! You think I can get a crowbar of my own?" "Is the emergency shutdown system operational?" "Oh no. I don't want that central solenoid to jam again..." "Why is my computer so slow?" "At least we aren't like Black Mesa, with 73% of their funding from Wikimedia." "This is one of the most unique and prestigious research institutions in the world! You should be glad you're here!" "No, I'm not." "What is in that High Security Area anyway?" "These sentry guns freak me out. Why do we even have them?" "Haha, they could be building a nuke in there, for all I care." "Why do they even have a "microwave corridor" to protect the launch bay?" "They're out of donuts." "You're a nasty little sewage boy, aren't you Thompson?" "That's a missile bay, if I remember. I wonder why the KWES has a launch bay..." "They vandalized All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 again! Nooo!" "Wikipedia is the free online encyclo-" "SHUT UP!" 'Are you wearing perfume again? My head hurts..." "Enough with that perfume! You know I hate it." "You haven't been mining bitcoin again, are you?" "You keep repeating yourself." "Ex-cop, huh?" "Donuts." "Were you the one that ate all the donuts?" "I've told you over and over. Stop mining bitcoin." "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" "Darn it! The central solenoid!" "Oh god, oh dear!" "GYAH!" "NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" "THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE SITUATION!" "What's happening?! What's happening?!" "no no no no!" "This- this is impossible!" "Oh my!" "Oh dear!" "Help! Hellp!" "Ahh!" "No! Please!" "Put me down this instant!" "Human resources will hear about this!" "What is wrong with you?" "This is harassment!"
Guard lines: "I plead the fifth." "Does this vest make me look fat?" "I'm sure you'll be able to log in again. It just needs time." "Yes, I was a cop. I'm still a cop." "Have you tried turning your device on and off again?" "Black Mesa and their rent-a-cops, huh?" "Look, I'm just a security guard. You think I know what's in there?" "No! They're out of donuts?!" "Good luck with reverting that edit..." "You do NOT want to know." "Stop! Stop saying that!" "You think?" "Alright, I won't put any on." "Donuts." (make this exchange repeat twice) "You know, I'm not your average rent-a-cop, I can still arrest people." "What's happening?!" "Hold me!" "Christ!" "Hey! Leave him alone!" "Leave her alone!" "Let go of me!" "Put me down!" "You won't hear the end of this!"
