vmono_03	We remember the Freeman. We are coterminous.
vmono_04	There is no distance between us. No false veils of time or space may intervene.
vmono_05	We see you still in Black Mesa. Clearly we see you in the Nihilanth's chamber.
vmono_06	We bear witness to the bright eternity of the Nihilanth's demise. You leap, you fall, we see you flash between the barriers.
vmono_07	For a brief time you joined us. You are one. Between the worlds.
vmono_08	Communion of the vortessence. And that other: a deeper mystery. No deeper than the void itself.
vmono_09	We cannot forget those whose cords you cut. Forgiveness is not ours to bestow.
vmono_10	Unity of purpose, the shattering of common shackles, a single road we tread.
vmono_11	Your song we sing and shall sing for eternity. No matter the consequences of this struggle.
vmono_12	You have brought us grief and jubilation beyond measure.
vmono_13	We are there still, in observance of your final stroke.
vmono_14	While our own lay scattered at your feet, you severed the vortal cord that bound the Nihilanth to life, and to us.
vmono_15	That sharp spur of hope has not dulled to this day. For once the lesser master lay defeated, we knew the greater must also fall in time.
vmono_16	With you besides us, a talisman of victory, the day of freedom draws nigh.
vmono_17	Your bright face obscures your darker mask.
vmono_18	We call you sib, although your mind and meaning are a mystery to us.
vmono_19	Far distant eyes look out through yours.
vmono_20	Something secret steers us both. We shall not name it.
vmono_21	We have endured these chafing bonds for eons, yet a single moment of further servitude seems intolerable!
vmono_22	How often have we slipped our yoke, only to find it choking us again.
vmono_23	Let this war end in either total victory or our extinction. No further compromise shall we allow.
vmono_24	We take our stand beside you, here, upon this miserable rock.
vmono_25	The way ahead is dark for the moment.
vmono_26	What seems to you a sacrifice is merely, to us, an oscillation. We do not fear the interval of darkness.
vmono_27	We are a tapestry woven of vortessence. It is the same for you if only you would see it.
vmono_28	How many are there in you? Whose hopes and dreams do you encompass?
vmono_29	Could you but see the eyes inside your own, the minds in your mind, you would see how much we share.
vmono_30	We are you, Freeman. And you are us.

vbaittrain02_nag	The Freeman must not delay: Hurl that pheropod into the pit.

vbaittrain04	Now, attend well. Apply pressure to your pheropod, to signal the antlions in your command to follow you.
vbaittrain04_nag	The Freeman must squeeze his bug-bait sharply if he wishes the antlions to follow where he leads.
