Carlos: Jill, it’s me again. You topside yet?
Jill: Working on it. So what’s the plan?
Carlos: The old tank’s got me clearing the tracks. You mind getting the subway infrastructure back online?
Jill: And how do I do that?
Carlos: Let’s start by restoring power. I’ll navigate you to the substation once you hit the main road.
Jill: Copy that. Let’s do this fast.
Jill: It almost looks like I could get this working if I plug in the right… whatever it is.
Jill: More survivors. We’ve got to get that train moving.
Jill: Carlos? I’ve reached the main avenue. Which way do I go?
Carlos: See a big transmission tower? That’s the substation. You’ll have to circle around through an alley to your right to get there.
Jill: You mean the alley that’s on fire?
Carlos: …Maybe? Surely a tall drink of water like yourself can put out a few flames.
Jill: Fuck you.
Jill: Gotta put this out.
Jill: This must be the subway company’s offices. Huh, nothing…
Jill: There.
Jill: Is someone in here? You’re U.B.C.S.?
U.B.C.S. Agent: Yeah. C-Careful, careful. C’mon don’t look at me like that, alright? I’m not an infected!
Jill: OK, let’s take care—
U.B.C.S. Agent: No no no wait! Please!
Jill: What the fuck!
Nicholai: He was infected.
Jill: He might have been infected.
Nicholai: Are all S.T.A.R.S. this soft? No wonder so many of you are dead.
Jill: And what are you? U.B.C.S.? Killing your own people?
Nicholai: He would have turned. Where is your sense of self-preservation? Go back to the subway station. We don’t need a bleeding heart like you getting in the way.
Jill: Ugh, it smells like… Oh, I don’t even wanna think about it.
Jill: Oh my god.
Jill: Get it out! Fucking gross!
Jill: Here we go. Done. Time to get the hell outta here. Oh, come on!
Jill: OK, all that leaves is the main power switch. Enjoy that.
Jill: Carlos, it’s Jill. I’ve restored power to the subway
Carlos: Nice going! Next up is the traffic control system. It should be in the subway company’s offices.
Jill: Right, I think I know the building.
Carlos: Really? Way to go, partner. One step ahead!
Jill: Not your partner.
Jill: Are you shitting me!?
Jill: Carlos, that thing is still alive! It’s after me!
Carlos: What? Run! Come back to the station!
Jill: Not until I get traffic control online!
Jill: OK, back again. Carlos, I’m in the control room. Now what?
Carlos: Nice! Now you gotta plot out a route.
Jill: OK, gimme a sec. Alright, where are we headed?
Carlos: The train is stopped at Redstone Street. We need to reach Fox Park Station. Can you program that in?
Jill: Hey I’m supercop. Consider it done.
System: Please enter a route.
Jill: What did he say? Redstone Street to Fox Park…
System: Valid route confirmed.
Jill: Carlos, it’s me. I’ve finished inputting the subway route.
Carlos: Jill, you are amazing! Tough as nails, too. Hurry back to the station. We’ll make sure the subway is ready to depart.
Jill: What the fuck!?
Jill: What the hell is it doing to them?
Carlos: Nice job, supercop. I’m impressed.
Jill: We back in business?
Carlos: Yeah, mostly. But we need 30 to 40 minutes to finish maintenance. Nicholai! How we doin’?
Nicholai: The town’s crawling with those freaks. No chance of fighting our way out of the city. Why is she here?
Carlos: She’s helping get the trains running again.
Nicholai: Bad time to start carrying dead weight, friend. She’s unreliable. Can’t pull the trigger when it counts.
Carlos: Hey, take it easy.
Nicholai: She’ll get you killed.
Carlos: Sorry about that. Everyone’s a little worked up. Aw come on. Not again.
Jill: It’s me he’s after. I’ll buy you some time.
Carlos: Hey wait! Wait, Jill! No! God dammit!
