	Time for an adventure!
	Let's get started, shall we?
	I'm feeling good about this, yes?
	The anticipation... Oh, it's exciting, yes?
	Look at us. A couple of miscreants, ready to take on the world!
	It may be the single malt but, I'm feeling very optimistic.
	In life, I find that a positive outlook - and a freeze ray - makes all the difference in the world.
	This is dangerous work. Fortunately, I'm dangerously handsome.
	I love making new friends and even newer enemies!
	United, no one can break us!

	Ah, well, good luck to you and your future endeavours!
	A pity we won't be working together.
	If you change your mind, you know where to find me.
	My... condition... will have to wait. I have other matters to attend to.
	I need to see the families of my crewmates.
	Answers will have to wait. I have a year of lost time to make up for.
	Look at you, throwing caution to the wind!
	Most people would think it's suicide to go into a battle without me, but you are an individual with no fear of looming failure, and I respect it.
	Looks like I have time to finally work on that jigsaw puzzle that's been haunting me for months!
	I've had my fill of the supernatural for now.

Abrams	Yes	Kelvin: If we work together, victory is assured. Abrams: You're... the most confident dead man I've ever met. Kelvin: My friend, the grave has no time for pessimism.
		Abrams: You, uh... hot in that thing? Kelvin: Revenants don't really sweat. Abrams: Huh. Checks out.
		Abrams: You're worried at the last minute that the Patrons are gonna screw us? Kelvin: Detective, now more than ever we need hope, not skepticism. Abrams: Hope doesn't keep you alive. Kelvin: Trust me, my friend. Sometimes, it's the only thing that does.
Bebop	Yes	Kelvin: You look concerned, my friend. Bebop: Ah, just worried about Miss Shelly is all. Kelvin: I understand. Just know that I'll do whatever I can to help you both.
		Bebop: I'm still a little confused on your condition. Are you alive or dead? Kelvin: I wish I knew. Little of both, I suppose. Bebop: Well that doesn't make any sense. Kelvin: It makes as much sense as me talking to an animated scrap pile, yes? Bebop: Not really. I was summoned into existence by an act of craftsmanship, willpower and sacrifice. There is a clear path that someone could replicate. You're a pseudo-corpse with a glowing rock Kelvin: Fair.
		Bebop: Thank you, Kelvin. Kelvin: I haven't done anything yet. Bebop: Well, Miss Shelly loved reading about your adventures. When you disappeared, it was sad thinking about her not being able to read a new one before she died. But now that you're back, let's hope for one more story. Kelvin: There'll be more than one, my friend.
Dynamo	No	Kelvin: Haven't seen you since the Black Château! Kelvin: Ah, it certainly does cut down on socializing.
		Kelvin: This story writes itself. Two men of science fighting to get our lives back. Kelvin: Indeed, it will.
		Kelvin: How's Marlowe doing? Kelvin: Wonderful. How long? Kelvin: You picked out a gift yet? Kelvin: You won't have to settle, Professor. We'll win this day.
Grey Talon	No	Kelvin: All that rage won't bring your family back.
		Kelvin: I create shelter for those in need of aid. Kelvin: Talon, I- Kelvin: Yes.
		Kelvin: The Baxter Society has done a lot of good. Kelvin: Don't sully its name.
Haze	Yes	Kelvin: What you see in people's dreams has to be fascinating. Haze: More like horrifying. Kelvin: That many nightmares? Haze: Nightmares are easy. There is enough commonality in what people are afraid of. Usually some flavour of death, loss or failure. But scary, are what people dream for.
		Haze: The OSIC have questions about your condition. Kelvin: Is this a friendly request for a chat, or a threat? Haze: It's the federal government, why not both? Kelvin: I take it I should make myself... "Unavailable," after the ritual? Haze: What you do with your time while I'm filing reports is entirely up to you. Kelvin: Thank you.
		Kelvin: Stay close to me, Haze, I'll be able to heal you in my ice dome. Haze: Today, your dome isn't for healing. It's to trap enemies inside with me. Kelvin: That works too.
Holliday	Yes	Holliday: You look more out of place than I do. Kelvin: The dead rarely are consumed by fashion.
		Holliday: What happened to you? Kelvin: My friend, I wish I knew. I'm just looking for answers. Holliday: Aren't we all...
		Kelvin: How goes your investigation, sheriff? Holliday: If all goes well, it ends today.
Ivy	Yes	Kelvin: You know, I could use someone like you on one of my expeditions. Ivy: Thanks for the offer, sir, but I don't think I could be away from the Arroyos that long. Kelvin: If you change your mind, let me know.
		Ivy: Mr. Kelvin? Kelvin: Yes? Ivy: I know this is an awkward time to ask, but, when this is over, would you be willing to talk to my brother? He's a BIG fan of your adventure stories. Kelvin: Of course, Ivy.
		Kelvin: You seem troubled. Ivy: I always get a little nervous before I get shot at. Kelvin: Me too. Ivy: You don't look nervous. Kelvin: I'm already dead, so the stakes are a little lower. Ivy: Makes sense.
Lady Geist	No	Kelvin: I never got to say thank you for you patronage, Lady Geist. Kelvin: I'm serious! Obviously, the expedition didn't go as planned, but we wouldn't have had the opportunity were it not for your funding. Kelvin: I don't know. But I intend to find out.
		Kelvin: You seem to be short on friends, Lady Geist. Kelvin: That way of thinking is a fast path to a lonely life. You'll realize that when you're older.
		Kelvin: Edrick. Kelvin: I don't know. I tried to find him when I returned to New York, but it's like he's vanished. Kelvin: I wish I could share that sentiment.
McGinnis	No	Kelvin: I've watched your career from afar, Miss McGinnis. Very impressive. Kelvin: I'll keep that in mind.
		Kelvin: Kelvin. Kelvin: I'm pretty sure you said "Kevin". Kelvin: Yes. Kelvin: I think you do too.
		Kelvin: Uhh, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Kelvin: Hm, it does seem likely. Kelvin: We're gonna do quite well!
Mirage	Yes	Kelvin: The Djinn have an uphill battle facing them. Mirage: Good things seldom come easily. Kelvin: Do you think Nashala has a chance at brokering a deal? Mirage: If there's anyone that can pull it off, it will be her.
		Kelvin: I imagine your career choice has taken you to some fantastic locales. Mirage: It has. Kelvin: I look forward to reading all about them. Mirage: You won't be. Revealing those details would be a major break of Nashalas trust. Kelvin: Hm, disappointing, but respectable.
		Kelvin: Good luck to you, Mirage. Mirage: Thank you Kelvin. May success greet us both, with open arms.
Mo & Krill	Yes	Krill: Your adventures were inspiring to read about, Kelvin. Kelvin: It's nice to meet someone who actually read them. Krill: They were riveting! I'm a, hrm, bit of an author myself, actually. Kelvin: That's great. Krill: If you would be willing to take a... look at my manuscript- Kelvin: I believe the ritual is about to start, but we'll catch up afterwards.
		Kelvin: Your friendship is inspiring to behold. Krill: Respect and certain death have a way of binding people together, don't they? Kelvin: Yes. Yes they do.
		Krill: I actually moved quite a few pieces from your Ixian expedition. Kelvin: Wait. The ones that were stolen? Krill: Certainly not the ones that are still in the Met... Yet.
Paradox	Yes	Paradox: I don't suppose you have any trinkets you'd be willing to donate to the Paradox Museum? Kelvin: Why do I have the feeling that you already robbed me? Paradox: Goes to say, we definitely planned on robbing you during the ritual, but my colleague may or may not have broken into your home yet. Kelvin: I'm... Not sure what to say to that. Paradox: Be flattered that you lived a life interesting enough to be robbed by us.
		Kelvin: You have so many gifts and yet you waste them on petty theft and childish stunts. Paradox: That's a little judgemental. Kelvin: It's the truth. Paradox: The heart wants what the heart wants, Kevin.
		Paradox: You... Know you're held in high regard by Paradox, right? Kelvin: Why? I'm an explorer, not a thief. Paradox: An explorer is just a thief that specializes in stealing from the dead. Kelvin: That's a gross oversimplification. Paradox: Who's got time for nuance?
Seven	Yes	Kelvin: Why do you hate me? Seven: The Patron will reveal all. Kelvin: And then what? Seven: Then I let you stew on when I'll come to kill you.
		Seven: Don't worry Kelvin, I won't let you die. Kelvin: Heh, I thought you hated me. Seven: I do. But if anyone is going to kill you, it's going to be me.
		Kelvin: No barbed words before the ritual? Seven: Kelvin, whatever it is you are now is a pale imitation of the man you were. To mock someone in your state of frailty is beneath me.
Wraith	Yes	Kelvin: We don't have time for cynicism today, Wraith. Wraith: I'm not cynical. Kelvin: I've seen the contempt you have for your fellow man. Wraith: You say contempt, I say "managed expectations."
		Wraith: What happened on your expedition. Kelvin: I wish I knew. Wraith: That why you're here? Kelvin: Correct. It's time I find answers.
		Wraith: People say you're a noble man. Kelvin: That's very kind of them. Wraith: Noble men tend to get other people killed. Kelvin: I will endeavor to make sure that's not the case.
