Dialogues

Acceptance Dialogue

Corporal Bane: This is bad... I've just received a *CLASSIFIED INFORMATION* from the future. It looks like the Charr have sent a second golem to the past to kill Sarah's daughter, Gwen, when seh's still a child! Unfortunately, we can't go back again until our *CLASSIFIED INFORMATION* stabilizes from the last jump, so we're going to have to go with Plan B. Headquarters has been building its own golem to send back, but its *CLASSIFIED INFORMATION* hasn't been installed yet. I think I can set up the Moahawk controls to interface with it so you can control the golem from this time period with your mind. It should only take a few minutes to modify the controls; when you're ready, let me know, and I'll send your consciousness back to the past to save Gwen!

Accept: The future's not set! I'll save her!

Reject: No thanks, I liked the original better.

Intermediate Dialogue 1 (Corporal Bane)

When you're ready, I can link you up with the golem. I just hope you can do this without your weapons.

Accept: Weapons? Where we're going, we don't need weapons. We have a golem, after all.

Reject: Back to the past? Nah, I've already been there.

Intermediate Dialogue 2

Corporal Bane: (Alright, it looks like the time leap and golem interface were successful. Can you move?

<player's character>: Yes...I think so. This is a little disorienting.)

Corporal Bane: (Unfortunately, even though you can issue commands to the golem, you can't speak through it. But it does have a few preset phrases that you can make it say.)

Corporal Bane: (Just focus on moving and familiarizing yourself with the golem's skills. We need to find Gwen as soon as possible. I navigated the golem around the wall for you, but you'll have to handle the rest.)

Reward Dialogue

You did it! The timeline is restored, and Gwen is safe! I sure hope that's the last of these Annihilator golems. All this time travel is giving me a headache.

Trivia

• Many aspects of this quest are references to the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
  • "Annihilator" is a synonym for "terminator."
• In Annihilator there was a Secret Dialogue which foreshadowed these events.
• When starting the quest, you will be shown the first ever cutscene of Guild Wars which is also seen when creating a new Prophecies Roleplaying Character. However, it's a little modified by introducting the Golem.
