	Grading can wait.
	Looks like I'll have to cancel class this afternoon!
	Oh, I wouldn't miss this for the world!
	One day, my body will be returned to me.
	Let me collect my extremities and I'll be right there.
	Well then, looks like we have work to do.
	And here I was, thinking I would be reviewing term papers all day.
	Time for a little field work.
	Ohh, this is going to be exciting!
	Splendid!

	Phew, I was worried I'd miss the faculty meeting.
	Another time, then.
	Stay safe out there.
	Be careful: Strange things are afoot.
	Enjoy the eclipse!
	Sorry I can't join ya. Maybe next time.
	Maybe I'll see you in the field.
	Do be safe out there!
	I'm gonna take that "no" as a strong "maybe".
	I wish I could help, but I'm drowning in term papers.

Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Notes	Audio	Transcription
Abrams	Yes		File:Atlas dynamo 1.mp3	Abrams: You ready for this, Professor? Dynamo: Mr. Abrams, if you think this is the first fight I've been in, you've never played Pinochle in Bristol.
			File:Atlas dynamo 2.mp3	Abrams: Stay close to me Professor, I'll keep you safe. Dynamo: Detective, I was about to say the same thing to you.
			File:Atlas dynamo 3.mp3	Dynamo: I... don't suppose I could... take a look at that Tome, when all this is over? Abrams: Professor, if things go our way, there won't be a tome for you to look at!
		Unlocked in Geist's visual novel	File:Atlas dynamo oathkeeper 1.mp3	Dynamo: I heard a rumor that you moved in with Lady Geist. Abrams: Don't wanna talk about it. Dynamo: Who would have thought that a simple business card could have started a star-crossed romance! Abrams: Nothing romantic about it, pal! Dynamo: Not yet! Abrams: Not ever!
			File:Atlas dynamo oathkeeper 2.mp3	Abrams: Sorry about crashing your party. Dynamo: No apologies needed, it wasn't my party. Did you ever meet up with Lady Geist? Abrams: No. Never called back. Dynamo: Sorry to hear that. Abrams: It's probably for the best. I heard that woman is bad news.
Bebop	Yes			Bebop: So, who made you? Dynamo: Oh, I wasn't made. My body was just obliterated by an Astral Gate. Bebop: Shame. I thought I'd found a kindred spirit. Dynamo: Listen, we're both just a couple of floating souls in iron bodies. I think there's plenty of common ground. Bebop: Suppose you're right, then.
				Bebop: Don't worry Professor, if anyone escapes your black hole I'll be sure to pull them back in. Dynamo: Bebop, you are a gentleman and I appreciate you.
				Dynamo: You know, you seem remarkably polite for a pit-fighter! Bebop: Ms. Shelly stresses the importance of etiquette. Dynamo: Who's that? Bebop: My creator. Very kind woman. Dynamo: Well, she should be proud of her son. Bebop: I like to think she is.
Grey Talon	Yes			Dynamo: I don't wanna intrude... Grey Talon: Then don't.
				Grey Talon: You have courage, Professor. Dynamo: No more than most. Grey Talon: A lot more than most. You endured something horrible and yet you live your life like it's going to be ok. Dynamo: It's either that or giving into despair, and that's not really an option, is it? Grey Talon: I wish I could be like you.
				Grey Talon: Have you been to Ixia, Professor? Dynamo: I won't lie: After what happened to my body, I decided to stay clear of Astral Gates. But I hear that South Ixia is beautiful. Grey Talon: It is. Dynamo: Maybe when this is over, we could take the wives on a couples' trip. Grey Talon: I don't think so. But thank you for the offer.
Haze	Yes			Haze: Marlowe wanted me to tell you that the offer still stands. Dynamo: For a moment, I thought you said "Marla" and got terribly confused. Haze: It's a good offer. Dynamo: i'm quite happy on the private sector. Haze: You change your mind, you let me know.
				Dynamo: So, you're in the Sandman Division! Haze: Yes. Dynamo: Are there a lot of you? Haze: Enough that we call ourselves a division. Dynamo: It's a rather unsettling idea. Haze: We like it that way.
				Dynamo: Once I open the black hole, I'm going to be pretty exposed. Haze: Don't worry Professor, I'll do what I can to capitalize on the opportunity. Dynamo: i'm not worried about you capitalizing on the opportunity, I'm worried about dying in the process. Haze: Your survival might not be a top priority, but it is still a priority. Dynamo: Great.
Holliday	Yes			Dynamo: I'm glad you're here, sheriff. If the Troubadour's in New York, the city's gonna need your expertise. Holliday: Yeah, well I hope local law enforcement feels the same way.
				Dynamo: Sheriff, I do my best to be precise, but sometimes even I miscalculate the area of a black hole. If you would be so kind... Holliday: I'm happy to drag back anyone you miss. Dynamo: I thank you in advance.
				Dynamo: Read about what happened in Macomb. Absolutely ghoulish. Holliday: I really don't wanna talk about it. Dynamo: Understandable. I just... I just hope you catch whoever's responsible. Holliday: i'm not gonna catch him. I'm gonna kill him.
Ivy	No			Dynamo: That's kind of you to say.
				Dynamo: You're Sophia Arroyo's sister, right? Dynamo: Okay-ish. She's a great student, but... lately she's been falling asleep in class. She says she's been pulling long shifts at her job, and it's wearing her out. Dynamo: Well, if you could talk to her, I think it would do a world of good.
				Dynamo: So, Ivy. How long have you been a vigilante? Dynamo: Well, if we survive and you need a reference, let me know.
Kelvin	Yes			Kelvin: Haven't seen you since the Black Château! Dynamo: Well, you've been a little busy being dead. Kelvin: Ah, it certainly does cut down on socializing. Dynamo: Good to see you again, Kelvin.
				Kelvin: This story writes itself. Two men of science fighting to get our lives back. Dynamo: Today will be a day to remember, my friend. Kelvin: Indeed, it will.
				Kelvin: How's Marla doing? Dynamo: Good. Our anniversary's coming up. Kelvin: Wonderful. How long? Dynamo: 31 years. Kelvin: You picked out a gift yet? Dynamo: Well, I'm hoping my body. But if not, I have got an eye on some books. Kelvin: You won't have to settle, Professor. We'll win this day.
McGinnis	Yes			McGinnis: How's that body working out for ya? Dynamo: Splendid, all things considered. McGinnis: Well, if you ever want an upgrade or something, you may call! Dynamo: I appreciate the offer, Miss McGinnis. But hopefully after today, your services won't be needed.
				Dynamo: Have you ever considered being an adjunct professor? McGinnis: No. I'd make a really bad teacher. Dynamo: Why do you think that? McGinnis: I don't know how I do what I do, it just... comes naturally. If I tried to teach someone, it would probably boil down to me saying "Try it again, but don't suck this time!" Dynamo: Good god, you would be the Lash of academia. McGinnis: You say it like that, I kinda wanna give it a try!
				McGinnis: Neat gun! Dynamo: Thanks. I designed it myself. McGinnis: Did you patent it? Dynamo: No, no. Why do you ask? McGinnis: No reason.
Mirage	Yes			Dynamo: I've wanted to speak to a Djinn for quite sometime. I imagine they are fascinating people. Mirage: They're people. Some are fascinating, some are... are, uh... Dynamo: Banal? Mirage: What does that word mean? Dynamo: It's a fancy way of saying "boring". Mirage: No, that's not it. What do you say when someone is... cruel as a child would be? Dynamo: Asshole. Mirage: Yes. Asshole. Some are fascinating, some are... assholes.
				Mirage: Professor, would you be willing to give Nashala and I a tour of Columbia? Dynamo: It would be my pleasure. Mirage: Thank you.
				Dynamo: Which is your favorite part of New York you've seen? Mirage: We haven't had the opportunity to do much sightseeing. But the library was stunning. Dynamo: One of my favorite places to go think. Mirage: I can see why.
Mo & Krill	Yes			Krill: Professor, you teach at Columbia, yes? Krill: I don't suppose you have any connections in the art department? Mo is hoping to audit a pottery class. Krill: Ahhh, well, I guess we'll fall back on the original plan of threatening someone in the admissions office. Krill: Ha! You've made his day, Professor! Thank you.
				Krill: We will endeavour not to grab someone in your... black hole.
				Krill: We have lived quite the life, yes! Krill: What are you thinking? Jewels, fine art, Ixian trinkets? Krill: My friend, what if I told you I knew someone looking to move a first edition Don Quixote? Krill: That does make it a challenge but, one I gladly accept. I will find you options.
Paradox	No
Pocket	No			Dynamo: After the ritual, I don't suppose I could... take a look at that case? Dynamo: While disappointed, I respect your decision.
				Dynamo: These days, "friends" might be pushing it. But, I'd say he has... warm nostalgia for me. Dynamo: He's a complicated man. There's a difference.
				Dynamo: You should have told me you were alive, Arin! Dynamo: I'm your godfather, I would have helped you! Dynamo: Well, at least I'm here now.
Seven	Yes			Seven: I don't understand you, Professor. You've been bestowed a great gift, and you're willing to throw it all away for nothing. Dynamo: Easy words to say when you've never loved someone. Seven: No. Easy words to say when you have.
				Seven: I'm a fan of your work, Professor. Dynamo: I am... flattered and horrified in equal measure. Seven: Your research into the Astral Gates paved the way for my own. In my rare moments of doubt, sometimes I even wonder if I would have become the man I am were it not for you. Dynamo: ... And now I'm just horrified.
				Dynamo: I'm sure it's a touchy subject, but I simply must know how you stopped your soul from being obliterated! Seven: I mean no disrespect, Professor, but some things may be beyond you. Dynamo: Many things are, but if I let that stop me from trying to learn, I wouldn't be... Well, I probably would still have my body. Seven: Hmm... Perhaps we're cut from the same cloth. Dynamo: Let's not go that far. Seven: I'll consider your request, Professor.
Vindicta	Yes		File:Dynamo hornet 1.mp3	Vindicta: Hold them in place, Professor, and leave the rest to me. Dynamo: That sounds rather ominous, and I'm ok not asking questions.
			File:Dynamo hornet 2.mp3	Dynamo: You know, I have a friend in the history department that would be over the moon if he got to meet you. Vindicta: I'm not a prop for show and tell. Dynamo: You are not, and I'm sorry to offend you.
			File:Dynamo hornet 3.mp3	Vindicta: You're a professor at Columbia, yes? Dynamo: Indeed I am. Vindicta: Isn't that where John Hathorne will be speaking soon? Dynamo: Regrettably. Vindicta: If the ritual fails, we'll be speaking later. Dynamo: ... Okay.
Viscous	Yes			Dynamo: Well, aren't you a fascinating creature! Viscous: I think so. Dynamo: When the ritual is over, I'd love to pick your brain. Viscous: Please don't stab my face. Dynamo: Oh, it's an expression. It means "to ask questions". Viscous: Oh. That sounds more fun. Okay!
				Viscous: What happened to your body? Dynamo: Obliterated in an Astral Gate. Viscous: That sounds... upsetting. Dynamo: I do not recommend it.
				Dynamo: So, this Adversary... Viscous: Is dangerous. And it's only a matter of time before he tires of the Deep and comes for you on land.
Vyper	No			Vyper: Hey, Professor. Can I, uh, audit one of your classes? Vyper: Oh, I'm not. I just wanted to move product to your students. Vyper: I get it, I just wanted to be respectful.
				Vyper: Oh no no, it really is.
				Vyper: Hey listen, by the way, I'm not trying to make this weird or anything but you smell like key lime pie. Vyper: Oh my god, that's like the sweetest thing ever. Ok, really quick, another question: She knows you don't have a mouth. So you can't eat the pie, right?
Warden	No			Dynamo: You seem impressively dour. Dynamo: Indeed. But I find a positive outlook makes all the difference.
				Dynamo: I appreciate the sentiment, Warden, but don't worry about me. I'll be beside you, not behind you.
				Dynamo: Warden, I wanted to put your mind at ease. I'm not just a man of science, but a man of action.
Wraith	Yes			Wraith: This may surprise you, Professor, but college kids like to have fun. Wraith: Ok, dad.
				Wraith: I don't suppose you're a gambling man, Professor. Wraith: Not a poker guy?
				Wraith: I mean, I've killed people, but it's not like a recreational thing for me. Wraith: Again, not a professional. Wraith: Oh, yeah. Wraith: I am often adjacent, yes. Wraith: Honey, I got you covered. Don't worry.
Wrecker	No			Dynamo: You're repugnant, Wrecker. Dynamo: Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.
				Dynamo: Forgive me, I don't speak "war criminal".
				Dynamo: I wonder why the Patron put us together. Dynamo: Well, now you hurt my feelings.
Yamato	Yes			Yamato: We need to make a plan. (計画を立てなくては) Dynamo: Yes. Yamato: I guess you don't understand me anyway. (どうせ分かってないんだろう) Dynamo: Sounds good. Yamato: Good grief. (全く) Dynamo: We got this!
				Yamato: Your ego got you here. (お前のエゴが招いた結果) Dynamo: I'm... going to assume that's a compliment. Yamato: It wasn't.
				Dynamo: Forgive my ignorance, Yamato... but is that sword a heirloom? Yamato: It is. Dynamo: How old? Yamato: Very. Dynamo: Can you... elaborate? Yamato: No.

	T'was the night before the Maelstrom, and all through the house, a Columbia professor got no sleep because he was afraid of death.
	I just love the holidays!
	I think it's great that strangers are coming together for a common goal. It's really the spirit of the season.
	You know, I bet this body of mine would make for one hell of a sled.
	Looking at department store windows can wait. It's time for adventure.
	I think I have time to complete a ritual before meeting Marla at Rockefeller Center.
	First I summon a god, then I go to a madrigal concert.
	(Singing) "Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, when the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even, brightly shone the moon that night though the frost was cruel, when a poor man came in sight gathering winter fuuuuuel!"
	I love winter in New York.
	This year's holiday is going to be unforgettable.

	I think it's time for a little holiday shopping.
	I better go pick out a present for Marla...
	I miss candy canes.
	I don't want to spend my holidays with Lash.
	I'm off to the Black Chateau.
	Ah, afraid I have to proctor midterms.
	Summoning a god has to wait until after the faculty holiday party.
	I promised Marla we'd go ice skating.
	Can't help, I have a shift at the soup kitchen today.
	If you think I'm missing caroling today you'd be sorely mistaken!

Amber Hand		This is your chance, Professor. Summon me and reclaim your humanity.
		You possess an open mind and a courageous heart, Professor. Both will be needed to complete the ritual.
		You long to feel Marla's hand once more, Professor. Summon me.

Sapphire Flame		You've paid a terrible price for knowledge, Professor. But today, you can make things right.
		Marla is counting on you, Professor. Don't let her down.

Removed/Unused lines

Monologue

These removed lines were presumably meant to be played during the scene of Dynamo's lecture in The Binding of Oathkeeper Chapter 2A.

Audio	Transcription
	Welcome! Ah, forgive the mess, I just finished a lecture on metaphysics, astral gates and the intersection between the two... I swear, I could talk about the intricacies of quantum entanglement and the intertwining of consciousness, cosmic vibrations and esoteric mysteries forever, but... Sorry, I can't help but notice you have the exact expression my students made during class.
	The night he got tenured, Zurkzark (?) said I paved the way for him with the university. it's a flattering thought, but I knew there was no one better to teach theoretical abstract referential geometry than someone who was born in an infernal hellscape.
	Hah, this picture takes me back. Anyone who says metaphysicists are boring obviously never played pinochle in Bristol.
	And that's Jake, me, Ixiv (?) and Fairfax. We called ourselves "The Squid Boys", which made little sense, since only one of us had a squid head.
	The Central Park astral gate. Investigating that changed my life forever.
	This year, when the celestial alignment begins, mystic energy will be at its apex. Perhaps then I'll be able to make contact with the Patron. Perhaps... then I'll be able to get my body back.
