On this day, I will have united technology and sorcery, and placed this new power into the Alignment's hands. No alien threat, no immortal, no self-proclaimed god -- will ever interfere with our interests again. This ShadowMan is of no concern to me. Commence countdown.

Quotes[]
- Rather post-modern for a gateway to hell, Black-Tower... but I must urge you to consider postponing today's launch. Without knowing Zero's whereabouts, the success of this mission can't be guaranteed. Hello? Anyone home? If Shadowboy's dead ass is in the wrong place at the wrong time, the heart of darkness probe's going to go on the fritz. He needs to be found... contained.
- Snort "Gray Zone." You guys slay me. You spend billions taking International Cryoconductors' extrapolation of Fold Map technology procured by Blackworks... and plug it into the anchors of that portal, so you can use the Netherspace to link our reality with Deadside... when I've got one of those open and ready in my library back home!
- I'm familiar with your tactics, Alexandre Darque. You must know that I don't fit the Faustian description met by most of your earthly associates. You are an esteemed guest at this, my moment of triumph, because of your expertise in the field -- may I suggest you bare witness... with your mouth closed.

- Space-time works differently in Deadside, Garrison. If it's any consolation, your soul escapes this place. We'll meet again in your future, and we'll be allies. Your code name... will be Bloodshot.
